High winds are the likely culprit in the loss of power for 4,893 city light customers in West Seattle. The outage which began at 6:22 extends from Morgan Street SW on the north along the water including Lowman Beach down through Arroyo Heights down to just past 119th SW.

Lightning was reported near the Morgan Junction around that time but it's not clear if it was the cause.

There is a report of wires down near 108th SW and 35th SW too.

Restoration was not expected before 1:00 am.
