EVERETT, Wash. — A mudslide is being blamed for the derailment of the last three cars on a southbound Amtrak train a mile south of Everett at 8:50 a.m. today. No one was hurt.

Mud, rocks and trees slid 100 feet down a 200-foot cliff, striking the train and causing the last three cars to lean to one side, said BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas.
