Seattle City Light crews were responding to a power outage in Ballard and Crown Hill Saturday night that affected about 11,200 customers.
An underground cable failure was determined to be the cause of the outage. An initial estimate for restoration of service was set for 4 a.m.
The general boundaries of the outage were N 112th Street on the north, NW 46th Street on the south, 6th Avenue NW on the east and Seaview Avenue NW on the west. Not all customers within those boundaries were affected. Please see www.seattle.gov/light/sysystat/ for updates.
