KING COUNTY, Wash. — Vandals cut a fiber optic line in Tukwila resulting in a Comcast and Xfinity service outage that is also impacted Burien, Renton and Kent, according to a statement from the company.
Service was restored at around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Tukwila police said the line located on the 14600 block of 51st Avenue South was tampered with on Friday night. Police said crews needed to temporarily remove trees to access the damaged part in the line.
Comcast told the City of Kent on Sunday afternoon that the company was "working as quick and safe as possible toward a solution."
