Seattle City Light has been working to rebuild the electrical system at Seattle Center and around Lower Queen Anne (especially after all of the planned and unplanned outages over the last year). The work, however, requires a planned outage in the area from 11 p.m. tonight, Thursday, September 9, from to 7 a.m. Friday morning. Here are the details from City Light:
New cable will be pulled in and connected along a Thomas Street section of the system. The area affected by the outage is bordered by Mercer Street on the north, Denny Way on the south, 5th Avenue North of the east and 1st Avenue North on the west. The electrical system serving the Seattle Center campus is aging. This work is part two of three phases in a systemic replacement of the system. Three additional outages will be needed to complete phase two. The dates of those outages are still being confirmed.
