Power restored for thousands of Seattle City Light customers
More than 11,000 Seattle City Light customers lost power late Saturday afternoon due to downed power lines, the utility said..
By 7 p.m electric service had been restored to all but 657 customers, City Light spokeswoman Connie McDougall said.
The outage affected large parts of Capitol Hill, Madrona and the Central Area. It occurred because a high-voltage feeder line - which transmits power to smaller residential lines - went down for unknown reasons, McDougall said.
