Thousands of streetlights await repair

We noticed on a drive around Ballard the other night that dozens of streetlights are burned out, and today our fellow neighborhood news site West Seattle Blog reports that Seattle City Light has a huge backlog of 3,500 burned out lights across the city. “There are many more trouble streetlights reported this time of year, and the current estimated turn-around time for repair is 32 working days,” said City Light’s Mike Eagan.
