When Outages Occur, be in the Know
In the Pacific Northwest, winter windstorms are common and often cause power outages. When an outage occurs, stay up to date with City Light’s outage map for information on the restoration work and timeframe. Go to seattle.gov/light/outage to view our outage map.
Updates on City Light’s Public EV Charging Program
We’re currently running a pilot program to own and operate public electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers. In late 2019, we unveiled five new fast chargers at our South Service Center in the SODO neighborhood. These are now available for public use. This year, we’re planning to install additional fast chargers in several neighborhoods throughout our service area. Stay tuned to find out where you can plug in!
We’ve also announced changes to our fee structure for public EV charging. You can find specific details on this change and updates on charging locations by visiting
energysolutions.seattle.gov/electric-vehicles.
“Keep a well-stocked first-aid kit in your home, office or vehicle. Make sure it’s easy to find, too! For more tips on how to prepare for the next power outage, visit: powerlines.seattlemulti.wpengine.com//outage.”

- Arroyo/South Arbor Heights: installing underground conduits, vaults and streetlights to replace aging infrastructure;
- Atlantic/Chinatown-International District: replacing aging utility poles, overhead wires and equipment to help upgrade the existing electrical system;
