Power outage in Eastlake ... with updates

UPDATE FROM CAPITOL HILL SEATTLE BLOG: Coverage from last night of City Light's efforts to get the last of it's Capitol Hill customers back online is here .

UPDATE at 9:30 P.M.: City Light reports that they have now restored power to all but 950 homes. They still hope to have all power restored by 3 a.m. City Light says the boundaries of the outage are now East Galer on the north, East Mercer on the south, Boylston Ave. E. on the east and I-5 on the west.

UPDATE at 8:30 P.M.: City Light reports that 2,750 customers are still without electricity, with final repairs not expected until 3 a.m. A tree fell and took down a main distribution line that brings electricity to our part of town. City Light crews are attempting to route power around the damaged section of wires.

UPDATE: Power appears to have been restored to most if not all of Eastlake. Power was being restored by about 6 p.m. starting at Allison. The outage appeared to be spotty with power on on one side of Eastlake Avenue, but off on another. Louisa's Cafe Bakery, Hiroshi's and Eastlake Cleaners were without power but Pomodoro and Starbucks across the street had juice. 

Ravish, the new restaurant featured in a blog post earlier today, was having a soft opening tonight. Lights had just come back on there about shortly before 6.

Traffic lights were out at Eastlake and Hamlin, but operating at Eastlake and Louisa.

No word yet from City Light on the cause.

Let us know what you experienced and if your power is on by writing in the comments.
