Light rail service has been suspended in Seattle between the Northgate, Stadium, Judkins Park, and Capitol Hill stations.
Service is suspended due to a power issue that was discovered just after 6:45 a.m. It caused delays and ultimately a shutdown of both the 1 Line and the 2 Line. The suspension of service is not related to copper wire theft, according to Sound Transit.
Sound Transit staff is recommending travelers to use alternative transportation, but buses run between Northgate and Westlake Stations.
