Seattle City Light crews worked through the early Sunday morning hours to restore power to thousands of customers affected by multiple outages.
At 3:05 a.m., about 8,900 customers in the Fremont, Wallingford, Ravenna, and Bryant neighborhoods were powerless.
By 4:29 a.m., power had been restored to the Wallingford, Fremont, and Eastlake areas, reducing the number of affected customers to around 5,100.
By 6:01 a.m., nearly 9,000 customers had their power restored as crews continued to work on the remaining outages.
At 6:38 a.m., it was confirmed that the outages were caused by a vault fire in the University District.
This morning’s outages across the area were the result of a vault fire in the U District affecting multiple feeders. Crews and staff were able to isolate the issue and restore power to more than ~9,000 customers so far. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work. pic.twitter.com/xzZcnd7WBn
