Jack Block Park update: Reopening tomorrow morning

Update on our earlier report about Jack Block Park‘s weekend shutdown, blamed on power problems: Peter McGraw with the Port of Seattle tells WSB that maintenance crews have traced the trouble to a blown transformer. Most areas of the park – except the restrooms – will reopen tomorrow morning, he says, until some point tomorrow afternoon (possibly around 3 pm) when they’ll be closed again so transformer-repair work can be done.

I am very impressed with how you got a response and action on this. Without you shedding light (& heat) on this, I doubt there’s be any time line for them completing whatever it is they claim needs to be done. Why they need to shut the park down to do this is a mystery to me. Transformers get replaced all the time on city streets without the street being closed.

Thanks!
