Seattle City Light wants to know why 10,000 customers lost power in the early morning hours on Saturday.

“I heard a pop and then everything went dark,” one person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

At about 7:22 a.m., the outage map for Seattle City Light showed about 10,000 customers without power on Queen Anne and Magnolia.

By 9 a.m., the number of outages dropped to just over 6,000.

By 9:15 a.m., all power had been restored.

City Light officials say they don’t know what caused the outage, but they are investigating.
