Fall is a good time to report street lights out in your neighborhood. Report them to Seattle City Light online at: http://www.seattle.gov/light/streetlight/form.asp. Or, call 206-684-7056.

City Light employees will need:

- The light pole number. Poles with more than one lamp will have more than one number. For an example, go to: http:/www.seattle.gov/light/streetlight/

- Look for the address nearest the pole to help workers locate the correct pole.

- Identify the nature of the problem, such a damaged pole, burned out light, rapidly cycling light, light on in daylight, glare, etc.)

- City Light asks for your name and phone number, in case of needed follow up.

- Repairs may take up to eight weeks, depending on demand.

To follow up:
- If you live north of Denny Way, call 206-615-0600.
- If you live south of Denny Way, call 206-386-4200.
