Seattle City Light crews were responding to a power outage affecting about 3,800 homes and businesses in the Ravenna, Roosevelt, View Ridge and Wedgwood neighborhoods Tuesday afternoon.

The cause of the outage was not immediately known. An initial estimate for restoration of service was set for 3 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.
