Utility pole on sidewalk at E Green Lake Way N and 1st Ave NE

Curious about the utility pole that has been laying on the sidewalk outside The Hearthstone (6720 E Green Lake Way N) since last week? Seattle City Light reports that the pole was delivered to the area to be installed as a replacement.  Unfortunately, the installation schedule got pushed back and it will not be installed until the first week of October. If the pole is causing any problems to residents of The Hearthstone or others, Seattle City Light has offered to remove it until the installation date.  Contact Seattle City Light at (206) 684-3000 or respond.scl [at] seattle.gov.
