If you took a train in to Seattle from the north today, you need to find other plans to get home.

Unfortunately, due to heavy rain, the Northline Sounder service between Seattle and Everett was canceled Jan. 21, after mudslides struck just south of Edmonds.

Crews are working to clear the tracks and Sound Transit is planning on offering special bus service for the evening commute.

We’ll keep you updated on KIRO 97.3 FM as more information about the buses are made available.
