Power restored to Wallingford, Fremont neighborhoods

Power has been restored to 4,000 customers in the Fremont and Wallingford areas.

A goose that came into contact with a main electrical feeder line was the cause, said Seattle City Light spokesman Peter Clarke.

If the wing span of a bird sitting on the line is long enough, it can short-circuit the wiring, he said. The goose didn't survive.

The outage, which happened around 9 a.m., extends from North 39th Street to North 53rd Street, and from Interstate 5 to Third Avenue Northwest, said spokesman Mike Eagan.
