Rock slide interrupts service of Seattle commuter train

SEATTLE – A rock slide near Edmonds forced Sound Transit to cancel its Sounder commuter train service between Everett and Seattle, meaning the service was unavailable for today’s Seattle Seahawks game.

Sound Transit spokesman Lee Somerstein said Saturday night he did not know what had caused the rock slide or when it had happened, but that it had blocked the tracks and would not be cleared by today. Sounder service between the Seahawks game and Tacoma was not affected, he said.

It was unclear if service on the line would be restored by Monday’s commute.
