As part of its work to rebuild the electrical system at Seattle Center, Seattle City Light has planned a six-hour power outage tomorrow, Tuesday, November 16, from 12:01 a.m. to 6 a.m.
During this outage, Seattle City Light underground crews will be pulling out old cable and performing critical maintenance work on some of the automated switches.
The area affected by the outage will be between Mercer Street on the north, Denny Way on the south, 5th Avenue on the east and 1st Avenue on the west. City Light says all customers who will be affected by the planned outage should have been notified already.
City Light also says this should be the last planned outage for Seattle Center and the surrounding area for the rest of the year, though additional outages will be required in 2011 as the city continues with its systematic replacement of the aging electrical system serving Seattle Center and Lower Queen Anne.
