UPDATE: Sounder Train WILL NOT Run From Everett For Seahawks Game Sunday

10:55pm Update: Earlier this evening Sound Transit issued the following update explaining their decision to not run trains from Everett to Sunday’s Seahawks game…

After carefully monitoring the weather forecasts and soil conditions, Sound Transit has made the decision to cancel Sounder Northline (Everett – Seattle) service for Sunday, December 28^th to the Seattle Seahawks game. The forecast for more rain and resulting slope conditions will increase the chance of a mudslide. Also, the limited availability of back-up charter bus service for our Edmonds and Mukilteo passengers would make game day travel difficult.

We made this decision in advance to give our riders as much notice as possible to plan alternate game day travel. For regularly scheduled bus options to the game please visit Sound Transit’s Event Services page or use the online Trip Planner on our home page: www.SoundTransit.org

 

Sound Transit will continue to monitor weather forecasts and slope conditions to determine our service plan for Monday. Please monitor www.soundtransit.org/alerts for updates to Sounder Northline service prior to Monday’s commute.
