10:19 AM: Thanks for the tips – multiple readers say Xfinity has confirmed an outage in north West Seattle affecting, at last report, up to 2,000 customers, reported to be affecting internet and TV, with the cause listed as “network damage.”
12:44 PM: Commenter “Onion” says below that their service resumed about 10 minutes ago.
Service resumed at about 12:35! First noticed disruption around 6:30 a.m.
Network damage could mean copper thieves. They can’t tell if a cable is copper or optical fiber until they cut it.
We were down this morning at work in Georgetown at 7 am. It came back on at 7:45 am.
I saw a very bright flash around 6:10am in the vicinity of Morgan somewhere east of 41st. I assumed maybe a transformer blew or something. That doesn’t line up with “north West Seattle” but the timeline matches closely when onion noticed the outage.
