Update 10:40pm

Power is restored as of 10:33pm

Original post

A power outage hit central and southern West Seattle around 9pm affecting more than 3000 City Light customers. No cause was confirmed  by City Light who were investigating the outage though there were reports of a car striking a pole near 26th and Juneau with wires down. That area is just adjacent to a City Light power sub station. The outage extended from Myrtle Street SW in High Point down along 32nd SW to 107th SW in White Center, with the largest section of the outage affecting Fauntlee Hills. City Light estimated a 4am time of restoration.

District 1 Seattle City Councilmember Lisa Herbold posted this event in her letter to constituents:

Seattle Municipal Court will be at the Delridge Community Center tomorrow, Friday, November 30th, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. to help resolve warrants, share options for addressing unpaid tickets, provide relicensing assistance or a referral to a public defender.  They’ll also help people access supportive services through the Court Resource Center. No appointment is required.

The White Center community will celebrate the holiday season and pay their respects to King County Sheriff's Deputy Steve Cox on the anniversary of his passing.

Deputy Steve Cox for whom the park in White Center was re-named was by all accounts a remarkable man. Westside Seattle paid tribute to him in an editorial in 2006.

Closing SR 99 through downtown Seattle for approximately three weeks will cause major disruptions to traffic throughout the region. It’s a challenge we don’t take lightly, and so we’ve spent many months studying and refining our plans to ensure we take the most efficient, least impactful approach.

The Seattle Police Department reports that car prowls in and near West Seattle have seen an increase recently.

Last week around the Thanksgiving Holiday, the SW Precinct had a series of car prowl and property damage incidents in the North Delridge and Alaska Junction neighborhoods.

Come to the Holiday Night Market on Saturday, December 1st 3 PM to 7 PM on Alaska Street, where you’ll find local handmade goods from over 40 local artisans. Get your picture with Santa too! Watch for Santa 4 PM to 7 PM in the Holiday Night Market Santa House. Make an ornament to hang on the tree to show holiday spirit the entire community can enjoy! Held in Junction Plaza Park at 42nd and Alaska during the Holiday Night Market we present a full music and entertainment line-up, with the finale – the tree lighting.
