Amtrak Coast Starlight
Pros: Efficient travel from Seattle to Centralia Cons: King Street station was a bit hard to navigate. I had to ask others about which line to wait in. Others were asking also, especially seniors who had hearing challenges. The return trip from Centralia was confusing. There were no attendants in the station waiting room. I had to navigate leaving the waiting room and finding the pathway to the actual tracks and arriving train. It would have been difficult in the dark, especially if I was the only traveler. I did have my ticket already printed or on my phone. Tips: Be sure to note if there will be attendants in some of the smaller stations. You cannot purchase a ticket from inside the station. Be sure to go online to purchase and confirm your travel.
