Update: Most of North Seattle Power Outage Restored
SEATTLE - Overnight, Seattle City Light crews restored power to the majority of customers in north Seattle who were affected by an outage that began just before 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
That outage initially affected about 4,000 customers, including the Northgate Mall, and occurred when a high-voltage transmission line dropped onto distribution lines below, causing two feeders to fail. There are residual effects from yesterday’s outage affecting a total of 372 customers. The boundaries are:
