Residents who live in Lower Queen Anne may be affected by a couple of upcoming planned power outages in the area. Seattle City Light has scheduled two power outages in order to repair damage from the outage on the Seattle Center campus last month, the first of which will be held on this coming Thursday, April 22 from 12 to 7 a.m. No date has been set yet for the second power outage yet, though according to Seattle City Light, it is planned for sometime in mid to late May.

The primary feed line has been out of service since the March outage, and so the Seattle Center campus has been running on the secondary (back-up) feed. These two planned outages will promote the replacement of one of the aging primary feed lines.  Two outages have been planned because of the size and scope of the issue.

The affected outage area will be within the following borders: Mercer Street to the north; Denny Way to the south;  5th Avenue N to the east; and 1st Avenue N to the west.

Residents within this boundary, but outside of the Seattle Center campus, who may be affected by the planned outages should have received notification letters from Seattle City Light. Seattle Center will be providing temporary exterior lighting on seven on-campus locations during the outage “to provide some level of light and safety,” according to a notice from Seattle City Light.

For more information or to address questions and concerns, contact Seattle City Light Communications and Public Affairs representative Mark VanOss at (206) 684-3279.
