Seattle City Light Outages

See it here: https://scl.codefork.com

This is an unofficial, very low bandwidth version of this page.

I made this so I can view outage information quickly on my phone, which has bad reception when my home internet is down. The Seattle City Light page makes over 300 requests and fetches over 5 MB (compressed) of assets. This app renders a simple text list of outages that's ~20 KB and static map images that average ~300 KB.

How to Run

docker build . -t scl_outage
docker run -d --restart always -p 127.0.0.1:9000:8000 -v scl_outage_maps:/opt/scl_outage/maps -v scl_outage_tile_cache:/opt/scl_outage/tile_cache scl_outage

Load http://localhost:9000

Neighborhood Data Sources

There are GeoJSON files committed into this repo containing neighborhood information for Seattle and the surrounding cities that Seattle City Light services. Some of these have been created from source data in a different format. To recreate the GeoJSON files:

uv run python3 -m scl_outage.neighborhoods.tool load

To generate a single map image showing which neighborhoods we have coverage for:

uv run python3 -m scl_outage.neighborhoods.tool coverage
