Downtown Ballard had a lot of power outages over the last two years. Apparently they were using a different transformer than everywhere else, all of which are getting old, and some procurement mistake lead to the spare parts being back-ordered by a year.

(This is second hand through a neighbor who actually went and bothered them about all the outages, so there are probably mistakes.)

Ya, I live on 60th, so 4 blocks north of market, and it’s weird that they get power outages to about 56th or 57th while we never do.

Using different equipment from the rest of Seattle is very Ballard.
