Seattle City Light crews restored service to the 3,800 homes and businesses in Capitol Hill that were affected by a power outage Sunday.

The outage started about 1:30 p.m. when a tree fell into power lines near 22nd Avenue E and E Galer Street.

The general boundaries of the outage were E Interlaken Boulevard on the north, E Union Street on the south, 29th Avenue E on the east and Summit Avenue E on the west.

Service was restored to all customers by 5 p.m.

Seattle City Light is the 10th largest public electric utility in the United States.  It has some of 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.
