Due to another mudslide north of Seattle, BNSF Railway has placed a moratorium on rail traffic between Seattle and Everett, WA through Tuesday, Dec. 25.
The following Amtrak services are affected:
DeggestyApparently the paved surfaces of these lots prevents the precipitation from soaking into the ground as it used to, and send it to the slope immediately by the track. Should drains be installed in the surface of these lots so that the water can soak in as it used to? Something has to be done about the water that now soaks the ground immediately to the east of the right of way, it seems.
Hard surfaces are compromising our ground water in urban areas all over the country. Most places don't have the severe and repeated mud slides you are having but there are a lot of other problems associated with all of the places we have paved over.
Sub surface drainage is the answer. But the water needs to be directed to places where it can recharge the aquifer and not just sent down a river.
Now cancelled thru wedensday morning due to instability
Sounder Northline service has been canceled through Wednesday morning due to slope instability on
the north corridor. Sounder North service for Wednesday afternoon and the rest of the week will be
decided Wednesday morning as more definitive information becomes available.
The mudslides seem to have begun as a serious problem and turned into a catastrophe.
