Welcome back, Lake Forest Park

Seattle City Light reports that all customers are back online, including Lake Forest Park, which was hard-hit by Saturday's storm.

Seattle City Light crews restored service to all customers affected by Saturday’s windstorm by  approximately 5am Monday, Nov. 4, 2013.

Seattle City Light experienced hundreds of outages throughout its service territory, starting about 8am Saturday, Nov. 2. A low pressure front moved through the area causing wind gusts measuring 60 mph at West Point off Discovery Park. Crews worked around the clock restoring power. In some cases, repairs uncovered additional work requiring extra time. At the peak of the storm approximately 46,000 customers were without power.

Many of the outages in our area were caused by falling trees, which took power lines with them. Homeowners are advised to check their trees for "hangers" - broken branches which are in danger of falling.
