Why did the website allrecipes.com go offline today?”
A fire last night at Seattle’s Fisher Plaza data center has knocked out service to some top Web sites, including Bing Travel and Authorize.net. We first got word of the fire early this morning from the online real estate service Redfin, which suffered an outage last night. Redfin’s Web site was back up this morning, but we’ve noticed other sites that are experiencing problems. KOMO TV and radio broadcasts also were impacted, and we’ve noticed that Seattle’s AllRecipes.com was offline too. Reports are circulating that Verizon’s FIOS service, also is down, though it was unclear whether that was tied to the Fisher Plaza fire.
