SEATTLE —
Seattle City Light fully restored power at about 4:50 a.m., to customers in the First Hill and Capitol Hill neighborhoods.
This outage was first reported at midnight. Originally there were about 2,900 customers without electricity. The outage was caused by a problem related to a cable.
The general boundaries of the outage area were: north, John St.; south, E. Columbia St.; east, 21st Ave.; and west, Yale Ave. N.
