Overall score for buses from Wenatchee to Seattle
(Based on 4 ratings and reviews)
4.0
Pros: all seats had seat back holders and there were outlets for plugging in things. Cons: this bus was perfectly fine. It did still smell towards the back but we tried to sit as close to up front as possible,. Tips: we had two different busses, one for one trip, one for another and the busses were very different. If you keep your expectations low you will either be fine or you will be pleased that the experience was better than you thought...all depends on the vehicle that is used.
