The lights on the exterior of the Washington Monument went out on Sunday evening and nobody seems to know why.
The National Park Service has said that they “are investigating and will have them restored as soon as possible” in a tweet, shortly before 9 p.m.

The Park Service had announced that the monument will be closing due to the coronavirus, but told CBS that the situation with the lights is not related.
