Seattle City Light reports outages affecting 6,300 customers in NE Shoreline and North Seattle area and one of them was at your Editor's house. When I called in to report it, hoping that it wasn't just my house because the recorded voice always cheerfully threatens to charge you if it's just you, the message said there was one outage of about 100 people in Lake Forest Park. This was about 5pm Wednesday.

Now (11:20pm) they are talking about 6,300 customers and the power won't be back until the early hours. I was told that streetlights were out along SR 104. My power was out for about an hour. My Comcast cable has been cutting in and out ever since but only went out for a few minutes.

Snow overloading tree branches, no doubt.

The outage map only reports 3909 customers without power in Shoreline and LFP.
