Amtrak Cascades

Pros: it was speedy, not long stops at the stations, clear announcements, helpful staff, no hang ups…pleasant experience. Cons: put down trays on back of seats could be cleaner. Tips: if you choose a window seat be aware that there is cool air circulating from the radiator which can be draughty.

Amtrak Cascades

Cons: I was treated with respect from the moment I arrived from Merlin Oregon. The inside agents were very knowledgeable about times; boarding and helping me know procedures. Great training for anyone coming to the Eugene train station. Tips: Arrive early and I say at least 1 hour. Ask questions to know what to expect. And see what you can get when you are disabled and have luggage and a cane. Ask for help and they put me onboard first. Helped with my bags and showed me where rest room was.

Seattle

Seattle is a must-see destination on the West Coast of the United States, offering many unique activities for any type of traveler. However, we're confident every visitor will enjoy the view of Mount Rainier from the top of Seattle's iconic Space Needle. Outdoor enthusiasts can bike, hike, boat, and ski in one of the top cities for outdoor activities in the U.S., while soaking in the Pacific Northwest's natural beauty (and yes, some rain as well). Urban explorers will love walking through Pike Place Market and experiencing Seattle's museums and public art, like the scenic Olympic Sculpture Park. These offerings and more make Seattle one of the best vacation destination in Washington.
