Emergency 9-1-1 service has been restored on the North Olympic Peninsula and throughout much of Washington state following a statewide outage overnight.

CenturyLink spokeswoman Kerry Zimmer said technicians don’t know if the problem was caused by computer hacking or an equipment problem.

Zimmer said the outage began about 1:30 a.m. at Sheridan, Ore., and service in Oregon was also affected for a time.

All service was restored just after 7 a.m.
