Seattle City Light crews cut power to about 60 customers in SODO about 7:30 p.m. Thursday after an inspection found a fire risk in privately owned electrical equipment that was damaged by a vehicle on Tuesday.
Inspectors determined this afternoon that damage from a Tuesday vehicle crash on First Avenue was causing an imminent threat of fire, so Seattle City Light cut power to the surrounding area.
The drive to West Seattle looks a little brighter this winter now that City Light has completed the upgrade of the streetlights on the high bridge from high pressure sodium luminaries to energy-efficient LED fixtures.
