All Aboard Washington regrets that the Central Washington Passenger Rail Summit, originally scheduled to be held this Saturday, March 14, has been postponed for the protection of our guests and speakers.
We have been monitoring the coronavirus / COVID-19 situation closely. Governor Inslee is recommending that events such as this be postponed, and several major companies are prohibiting their employees from traveling. As a result, many of the scheduled speakers will be unable to attend on the original date.
We will update you with information about when the meeting will be rescheduled. You are also welcome to attend our regional Rail Passengers Association meeting on Saturday, April 18 in Tacoma.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

"I wish to extend my appreciation to members of the Rail Passengers Association for their steadfast advocacy to protect not only the Southwest Chief, but all rail transportation which plays such an important role in our economy and local communities. I look forward to continuing this close partnership, both with America’s rail passengers and our bipartisan group of senators, to ensure a bright future for the Southwest Chief route."
Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS)
