Short power outage near 6th Ave. station

A couple My Ballard readers said they heard a loud bang in the direction of the power substation between 6th and 8th Ave. Friday afternoon, and then the power went out. It came back on a short time later. We’re unable to find out a cause, but it does remind us of that suicidal raccoon who “bridged the gap” in transmission lines in the same substation back in May, cutting power for several thousand homes. (Thanks, Pioggia and jharpster!)
