SEATTLE —
City Light crews are replacing a pole damaged by a car last night. The pole is located near the intersection of S. 129th St. and Martin Luther King Jr. Wy. S. in Unincorporated King County. Crews are working off the road to reduce impacts on traffic. Traffic control has been requested from the Washington State Patrol.

Seattle City Light is the ninth largest public electric utility in the United States. It has the lowest cost customer rates of any urban utility, providing reliable, renewable and environmentally responsible power to nearly 1 million Seattle area residents. City Light has been greenhouse gas neutral since 2005, the first electric utility in the nation to achieve that distinction.
