There were more than 5,000 Seattle City Light customers without power Friday morning.

City Light crews were dispatched to Ravenna, Laurelhurst, Sandpoint and Windermere neighborhoods after power went out around 10:30 a.m.

As of 2:45 p.m., City Light was reporting 138 customers without power, and Puget Sound Energy was reporting 4,400 customers without power.

The exact cause of the outages are unknown; a tweet from City Light said it was probably a tree, or a number of trees and branches blown about in the morning wind.
