Power restored for thousands in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood

Thousands were without power Monday evening in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood, more than an hour after a downed power line cut off power to nearly 7,000 customers, according to Seattle City Light.

Seattle City Light said crews were responding to the outage in an X post shortly before 6 p.m.

Nearly 2,500 customers were still without power shortly after 7 p.m. Power was expected to be fully restored by 9 p.m.

Crews “are working as quickly and safely as they can to get everyone’s power back on,” according to an email from Seattle City Light spokesperson Jamie Oakes.

It was unclear how the line was knocked down. Winds were below 10 mph at Boeing Field on Monday afternoon and evening.
