They're using the old station.

I wonder how long this will last, that is until the wreck is cleaned up.

Is the Starlight being moved to the bypass route as well?  I had heard somewhere a while ago that it would stay on the old route.

Don't know when the "detours" began but Starlight 11 left SEA one minute late and stopped at the old station in Tacoma about 11:06 and Pt. Defiance at 11:25.  How passengers are being handled in Tacoma is unknown.
