| Lights are out at 4-Corners |
On Thursday evening, more than 3,000 Seattle City Light customers were without power, most from the outage in Shoreline, which was caused by a downed tree.
At 5pm, Richmond Beach Road was closed westbound at Fremont and closed completely at 3rd Ave NW as crews worked with downed power lines.
Richmond Beach Road reopened at 7pm but crews were still working to restore power.
By 9:30pm over 625 customers in the 4-Corners area - Hillwood and Richmond Highlands - were still without power. An additional, small outage was reported in the same area for half a dozen customers.

There is no "4-corners." Stop using every news story and community event to socialize this label. A few people from a few non-profits getting together and coining a term does not a place make. The City has an agenda to create super-neighborhoods to simply its propaganda and control of its citizens. Stop aiding and abetting.
Anon @ 11:03 - Stop saying the City named this area 4 corners. It had nothing to do with the city. The people who live in the neighborhood named it themselves. Move on.
The "4-Corners Community News" kiosk at Hillwood Park on 3rd Ave NW speaks otherwise. The people in the neighborhoods did not name it. A few people named it. They were not elected; they do not represent the community. There is no four neighborhood identity except in the minds of a few. You move on.
Well then, if you live in the neighborhood and don't like the name - change it! If you don't live in the neighborhood - why do you care if "a few people named it". I don't see why this is such big deal to you. Your life must be pretty posh if this gets under your skin to this level.
There is no name to change. There is no distinction these 4 neighborhoods have, any more than any other 4 neighborhoods in Shoreline. Hillwood and Richmond Highlands no more belong to "4-Corners" than they do to the other "4-Corners" (Hillwood, Echo Lake, Richmond Highlands, Meridian Park) at 185th NW and Aurora Ave N. But 4-Corners.Org has other ideas. Their stated mission is "to enhance and strengthen community relationships between and among the 4 Corner neighborhoods of Hillwood, Innis Arden, Richmond Beach and Richmond Highlands." Their brew fest is a means to an ends, not the end itself.
Anon @ 4:25 - "If you have," "If you don't like," "If you don't live," "Why do you care?" "Why this is a big deal to you" "Your life must be pretty posh" Stop attacking the other commenters. YOU and your cohorts must have some pretty big plans, if exposing this agenda gets under YOUR skin to this level.

I'm not part of 4-Corners. I have no agenda. I'm not associated with "them" in any way.
I ask you as well, "Why do you care if folks want to call it 4-Corners?"
Also, I've never once been to the Brew-Fest, but who cares if they have 1?
Also, I read in the paper about this area with the 4 neighborhoods of 4 Corners supporting/running a huge food drive, toy drive and teen gifts drive.
Seems like a GREAT thing to me?
Neighborhoods coming together, supporting their other neighbors and getting to know one another.
Who cares if they want to call themselves "4-Corners".
You want to incorporate an additional 4 Corners alliance that connects some of those neighborhoods to other neighborhoods with intention?
Then do it!
No one is stopping you.
The idea is great to me. But, for some reason you don't like it.
Bizarre that your dislike with escalate to you telling others that they shouldn't come together and make this connection.
