SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle City Light spokesman says crews have restored power Monday evening to about 4,500 customers in the city’s First Hill neighborhood.
The outage began about 4:30 p.m. Monday.
Spokesman John Gustafson says the outage was caused by a faulty connection point on a switch that feeds the underground electrical system. He says when it rains after a long dry spell, as it did Monday, dust on equipment gets wet and can cause short circuits.
