- More than 400 customers lost power this morning in the 7 Hills Park area of Capitol Hill near the 15th Ave Group Health campus when a bird landed on power line equipment. The loss of power was much more limited than last week’s 3,000+ customer outage caused by a semi-truck running into wires down off Denny. City light estimates power should be restored before noon. No word on the condition of the bird.
- In May, 2010, this crow knocked out power to 2,800 customers around Melrose Ave. Warning: contains dead crow.
- Wednesday, The Sorrento Hotel shared this picture of an unusual visitor to the First Hill elder statesmen of hospitality. “We had a little visitor in our attic today. Just keeping an eye on us, I suppose!” the Sorrento’s Facebook page notes.
I hope it wasn’t the hawk! I drove by and there was a hook and ladder truck there – they probably weren’t doing CPR on the poor bird.
