Amtrak Cascades

Pros: Easily accessible and helpful, saves gas, decently professional and nice staff the majority of the time. Cons: Doesn't look like the seats and tray tables, arms or chairs get cleaned much on the trains, visibly dirty often so I just don't open the tray tables anymore and try not to touch much. Tips: Arrive early, staff will have already shut the doors 5 minutes prior to departure and will be rude often when you ask to board, even if you're minutes before the departure time. If riders are expected to be more than 5 minutes early, it should be clearly stated on the ticket. The wifi is very patchy.
