Seattle City Light power outage disrupts Shoreline schools

A Seattle City Light power outage on Oct. 9, 2026, left more than 6,000 customers in north Seattle and Shoreline without power. Shoreline School District delayed schools by two hours and canceled classes at Briarcrest, Ridgecrest, Kellogg and Shorecrest. KIRO 7 attributed the outage to equipment failure. MyNorthwest reported power restored shortly before 10:30 a.m.; that restoration did not establish reopening of schools whose classes were canceled.
