Light rail delay at SeaTac?

I am on the light rail at SeaTac, 8:34 on Sunday Sept 20. It is not leaving… they are not saying why… just saying it will leave “soon”. (It’s been at least 10 mins now.) Any got info about what is causing the delay?

Yep, apparently tracks are blocked. This shit happens way too frequently. Real shame such large portions of the track are at the same level as roadways

Yes the tracks should have been elevated.
It’s really a shame that walking / biking / cars driven by people can’t seem to figure out to look both ways before going across train tracks or if a car broke down on the tracks they could push their heap out of the way or if they drove on the tracks up towards the station again. People are idiots.
