(Screenshot from City Light outage map)
6:30 PM: From SW 112th in White Center, east into South Park, north into the West Seattle neighborhoods of Highland Park, Riverview, and Puget Ridge, 7,300+ homes and businesses are out of power right now (mapped here). It went out just before 5 pm when a tree fell near the 7000 block of 18th SW in West Seattle. This photo is from reader Michael:
As usual, while Seattle City Light makes restoration estimates, they have historically admitted they’re not worth much, so prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
6:38 PM: And indeed, the restoration estimates (which were for late tonight) turned out to be way off. Power is now restored for most, except fewer than 500 in West Seattle; looks like everyone in NH is back.
