A Comcast internet outage impacted more than 2,500 customers on Thursday, July 15.

According to the Xfinity website, it was an unplanned outage. It appears to be impacting at least the Barkley, Silver Beach and Iowa Street areas.

Nick McDonald, communications manager for Comcast Washington, said the disruption occurred when a Comcast line was accidentally cut by a logging truck near the intersection of Kentucky and Moore streets. Repairs were completed and service was restored around 7 p.m. Thursday.

“We appreciate our customers’ patience as we work to restore their service,” McDonald said.
