A ‘real mess’ on Queen Anne

High winds are causing power outages around the area. The east and west sides of the hill are without power.

This is a Seattle City Light map of current outages as of 7 a.m. Engine 8 was called out to 1400 Bigelow Ave N at 6:45 a.m. for reports of wires down. Our tipster Silver says a transformer blew and was hanging over the street. She says crews on the scene are calling it a “real mess.” Seattle City Light reminds people on their website that downed power lines are extremely dangerous and people should stay at least 20 feet away from them. According to the map, nearly 10,000 people are without power in Magnolia and Queen Anne.
