SEATTLE - Sound Transit's Beacon Hill Station has been temporarily closed due to a mechanical issue, with light rail trains bypassing the station without passengers.
The notice about a "power issue" inside Beacon Hill Station was posted shortly at 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
A bus shuttle service has been established to transport passengers between the SODO and Mount Baker stations on the 1 Line. Riders should prepare for additional travel time.
Passengers traveling southbound toward Angle Lake must exit trains at SODO and re-board at Mount Baker. Similarly, those heading northbound toward Lynnwood City Center will need to exit at Mount Baker and transfer to a train at SODO.
The agency is advising airport passengers with luggage to consider alternative travel options.
The latest updates can be found on the Sound Transit website under "Service alerts."
