At 10 a.m. this morning the power went out in Tully's, Starbucks and Bartell Drugs and they weren't the only ones affected. The power outage affected nearly 5,400 homes and businesses.
The outage started about 10 a.m. when a wire fell during maintenance work near Ione Place and Tallman Avenue.
For many businesses the outage lasted for only 20 minutes but as of 11:30 a.m, Swedish Medical Center and the block south of Market Street between 20th and 14th Avenue are still out of power. Some locations in Sunset Hill are affected as well.
At 12:50 p.m. crews were still working on getting power back to the 157 customers around Swedish Medical Center's campus. Crews estimated the power to be restored by 1:17 p.m.
