Mayor Mike McGinn highlighted Seattle City Light’s work Monday night to help support public safety with its switch to Light Emitting Diode (LED) streetlights and operational improvements that have eliminated a backlog of service orders for burned out streetlights.
Seattle City Light identified nine streetlights that were giving off voltage in the utility’s latest round of streetlight safety testing. No one was injured by any of the streetlights. In each case, City Light crews immediately cut power and started repairs.
Lightning and rain caused scattered power outages in Madrona and neighborhoods in northeast and northwest Seattle. City Light crews worked to restore power as quickly as possible.
