Amtrak Thruway

Pros: Easy and convenient way to get from Seattle to vancouver. The driver was excellent, polite and helpful . The border crossing was super simple and quick. All of us had a row to ourselves on the 9pm ride. We stop at the sandman hotel in Richmond for our first stop in vancouver which is convenient if you need a hotel my the metro to get around . Otherwise it ends at the main station downtown. Great ride. Cons: Wifi would be nice. Tips: Take it if you need an inexpensive way to get up to vancouver or back. Great to get some work done while the driver does all the work.
