SEATTLE -- Gas was spewing from a gas line break in South Seattle early Wednesday evening.

Puget Sound Energy said they were called to Martin Luther King Way and South Alaska Street at about 3:50 p.m. after a construction crew caused the four-inch gas line break.

A nearby Boys and Girls Club was evacuated for a short time, but they were allowed back inside the building.

Sound Transit said the break caused minor delays to the Sounder train. Traffic was being diverted in the area.

PSE is at the scene and working on a way to get to the leak. Helen Fitzpatrick of the Seattle Fire Department said they make have to excavate to get to the line.
