HOT OFF THE KOMO 4 NEWS @ 6 pm, the wind storm affecting Puget Sound has dropped a power line across the BNSF mainline in Kent, WA. 2 S/B Sounder commuter trains stopped @ Kent station. TV footage shows Metro busses @ the curb. This shouldn't affect freight traffic, as the BNSF derailment early this AM @ Steilacoom, WA, has both mainlines blocked anyway.
A downed tree has stopped service between Mt. Vernon & Bellingham, WA.
