2:17 AM: More than 6,800 customers are out, mostly in north West Seattle. Cause unknown so far.
2:22 AM UPDATE: Apparently it’s a tree into wires in the 4800 block of 26th SW. SFD is en route.
2:33 AM UPDATE: SPD dispatch also has broadcast a report of a “split pole” in the 4700 block of 25th SW. … Previous outage was this same time of the morning, 2 am-ish, last Wednesday; in that one, a tree fell into a line south of The Junction, affecting 2,000 fewer customers than this outage.
2:43 AM: The firefighters that just arrived told dispatch “multiple trees, multiple lines” are down and suggested they warn City Light this is going to be “a big job.” … Dispatch just told SFD that the outage has “affected a pump station” which in turn might mean lower water pressure.
3:01 AM: Two people have texted that their power’s back on; still waiting for SCL map to update. In many outages (like last Wednesday), some get their power back relatively quickly, others are hours later.
3:06 AM: Map now updated – fewer than 300 customers still out, mostly in North Delridge:
There’s also a pocket of 16 customers still out on Alki, west side of Duwamish Head.
