Another mudslide has knocked out Sounder and Amtrak service between Everett and Seattle at least until Thursday morning.
The newest mudslide occurred at 6:30 Monday night. And because passenger rail must be suspended for 48 hours after a mudslide is discovered, service cannot resume until Thursday morning, said Sounder Transit spokesman Lee Somerstein.
Somerstein said commuters should continue checking the Web site, www.soundtransit. org, for any updates, and that Sound Transit continues to run extra buses to carry its 300-plus commuters.
“This is very unusual circumstances,” Somerstein said. “We hope to return to normal service soon.”
