Apparently they've been turning the EB somewhere east of Seattle and Portland. Check out this photo from Railpictures.net

Only the Seattle section of the EB is terminating short of its usual destination, at Wenatchee. The Porland section AFAIK has been operating normally all the way to Portland. At least that is what Amtrak.com is reporting.
