Original post
157 City Light customers in West Seattle's Genesee Hill area are without power this afternoon after what City Light said was a "balloon" apparently caused some equipment to fail. The projected restoration time is 7pm

The outage is just behind and adjacent to Me-Kwa-Mooks Park and extends from s.w. Andover Street on the north to approximately Oregon Street on the south. The eastern boundary of the outage is 52nd Pl. s.w.

You can monitor the outage on City Light's System Staus Page here http://www.seattle.gov/light/sysstat/
