PTC is ready, however Sound Transit is in reverse mode on all issues because of the virus. Currently there is only 1 train running and that is south of Seattle.
They put out a plan forward yesterday but no mention of Cascade runs.
As of July 14th:
"Currently, Sound Transit is developing its Rail Activation Plan related to safety criteria, outreach activities and processes they need completed before they will approve track testing and Amtrak crew qualification. Once those activities are underway, Sound Transit will determine a date for returning passenger rail service to the Point Defiance Bypass."
