Power Outage Shuts Down Angle Lake Light Rail Station
A major power outage has disrupted transit services in the Seattle area, causing the closure of the Angle Lake Sound Transit light rail station. This unexpected situation has left many commuters stranded and looking for alternative routes.
According to reports from Sound Transit, the outage was caused by snapped overhead wires, a result of severe thunderstorms that hit the region on Wednesday night. The disruption has led to the suspension of service on the 1 Line at Angle Lake, impacting many passengers who rely on the light rail for their daily commutes. As a safety measure, transit crews had to escort passengers off a light rail train that had become stuck on the elevated platform. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, but the inconvenience has been significant.

At this time, it remains unclear how long it will take for repairs to be completed. Sound Transit is actively working on restoring power and has assured commuters that updates will be provided as soon as possible. Meanwhile, RapidRide A Line buses have been deployed to assist in transporting passengers between SeaTac and Angle Lake, helping to alleviate some of the travel disruptions.
The power outage is part of a broader issue affecting western Washington, as the recent thunderstorms have caused electrical disruptions in several areas. Seattle City Light and Puget Sound Energy have reported multiple outages across the region, leaving thousands without power. Crews are working around the clock to restore electricity, but with continued storm activity, further disruptions may occur.
For now, commuters are advised to check Sound Transit’s official updates before heading out and to consider alternative routes if necessary. As the situation unfolds, patience and preparedness will be key in navigating these unexpected travel challenges.
