Power outage in north Shoreline and LFP today

Power has been restored to 3,783 City Light customers in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park after the lights went out around 10:30 am this morning when a tree fell on a power line. Power was completely restored by about 1:30 pm.

Seattle City Light is the ninth largest public electric utility in the United States. It has the lowest cost customer rates of any urban utility, providing reliable, renewable and environmentally responsible power to nearly 1 million Seattle area residents. City Light has been greenhouse gas neutral since 2005, the first electric utility in the nation to achieve that distinction.
