KOMO's Bryan Johnson reports that council members said the increase was necessary to preserve the utility's bond rating, to make repairs, and to close a budget deficit.

The rate increase will affect all Seattle customers.

Late for work? Yep. <br>This is the fourth power outage within the last couple of months around Queen Anne. I just moved to lower Queen Anne about 1 year ago after living for 16 years in Capitol Hill; I don’t remember power outages happening this frequently on the Hill--- what's up with QA?
