Back in 2004 more than 23,000 streetlight outages were reported and sometimes it took months for a light to be repaired. City Council has made changes and now the backlog has been reduced to less than 1,000 outages and there is a policy in place to repair streetlights within 14 days of notification that they are out.
To see the existing outages and to report a streetlight outage, go to http://www.seattle.gov/light/streetlight/tracker.asp to see the map, report streetlight outages and to track their repair.
