The Brief Amtrak's service suspension between Seattle and Portland has been extended through Friday, Aug. 14 because of a track obstruction. The service was suspended because of a warehouse fire and was originally scheduled through Monday, Aug. 10. After originally announcing that its service between Seattle and Portland would be suspended through Monday, Amtrak is extending the suspension through Friday, Aug. 14, due to a "track obstruction." The suspension is in place because of a warehouse fire that occurred near the tracks in Portland on Aug. 2. Amtrak said it is providing buses in place of the suspended train service, but adds that some departures have been canceled due to limited bus availability.
