As I did last pre-season, I find myself in the Rose City for the most of the pre-season tournament after a stressful 24hrs leading up to my departure, with 2 track obstructions on the Amtrak line south of Everett. What it all meant, is that I could still take the Cascades train down to Everett, a transfer to coach transportation to Amtrak Seattle. From there, it was catching BoltBus from Seattle to Portland. In the end, given the apparent fluidity of the situation, I thought it was handled well by the Amtrak staff, not only on the train, but on the ground in Everett getting everybody and their baggage onto the coaches and on the road in a timely fashion.
