Amtrak Cascades

Pros: Driver was humorous and very informative on the border-crossing process. Cons: Maybe better instructions for the pickup location at Sea-Tac? We knew more or less where to be, but maybe if there was a physical description of the pickup location that would have helped a bit. Tips: Bring a pen to fill out declaration paperwork if you're crossing the international border! Other than that, this experience was great and the driver was awesome.
