Seattle outage leaves 3,079 without power across North Seattle

seattle City Light's outage map showed 3,079 people without power in North Seattle at 11:30 p.m. Monday, stretching from South Lake Union to Discovery Park. Crews had been dispatched, and the utility listed an estimated restoration time of 2:18 p.m.

That left thousands of customers across a broad part of the city waiting for service to return while the utility tracked the outage on its map. The affected area covered neighborhoods and destinations on the north side rather than a single block or building.

The outage map was the utility's public snapshot of the problem. It showed the count at 3,079 after the broader report that more than 3,000 people were without power in North Seattle on Monday.

Seattle City Light said the cause was under investigation. The same update said crews were already out working on the outage, which gave affected customers the clearest sign that restoration efforts had begun even before the estimated time was reached.

South Lake Union to Discovery Park

The outage area stretched from South Lake Union to Discovery Park, a span that put homes and businesses across North Seattle in the same disruption zone. The utility's estimate of 2:18 p.m. was the only timeframe it gave for when service should return.

For residents and workers in that stretch, the practical next step was simple: watch the utility map for the restoration estimate and wait for crews to finish the job. The count on the map and the listed repair time were the two numbers that mattered most to anyone left without power.
