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

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.
