Seattle City Light crews worked into the early Sunday morning hours to restore power to thousands of customers affected by multiple outages.
As of 3:05 a.m., approximately 8,900 customers in the Fremont, Wallingford, Ravenna and Bryant neighborhoods were without power.
By 4:29 a.m., power had been restored to the Wallingford, Fremont and Eastlake areas, reducing the number of affected customers to about 5,100.
As of 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 power outage was caused by a vault fire in the University District.
This morning’s area-wide outages were the result of a vault fire in the U-District involving multiple feeders. Crews and personnel have been able to isolate the issue and restore power to over 9,000 customers so far. Thank you for your patience as we continue to operate. pic.twitter.com/xzZcnd7WBn
