The Seattle City Light Crew has fixed the outage that hit South Seattle which began on Saturday and has affected more than 9000 customers.
The issue, which began by 10:24am in the Beacon Hill area, was large scale and affected areas as far as Seward Park to the Chinatown International District. It also affected the rail way lines where Sound Transit reported that 2 major lines had been delayed.
The Seattle City reports that the outage was caused by a pole that caught fire along the East Marginal Way. The fire knocked out traffic signals which included ones on Rainier Avenue that are more usually traveled on.
The Power was restored back by 1pm for majority of its customers.
