Seattle City Light serves more than 300,000 customers. Occasionally, power outages occur, caused by storms, lightning, objects touching power lines, cars hitting poles, excavations of underground electric cables and equipment failure. When they occur, crews work around the clock to restore power safely and efficiently. Your service will be restored as quickly as possible.
