Update: “Last night’s lighting outage at the Washington Monument was caused by the failure of the timeclock that turns the lights on each evening and off in the morning. While the faulty part is being replaced, the lights will be operated manually to ensure the monument is lit each night.”

8:49pm The National Park Service reported: “The exterior lights of the Washington Monument are currently out. We are investigating and will have them restored as soon as possible.”
