    this station is pretty up to par. much better than the Udistrict or capitol hill stations, which have many more tweakers crawling about.

    With the recent opening of the expansion of the 2 line going to Lynnwood from Redmond, this…read moreWestlake Station (like all the other stations in downtown Seattle) now services both the 1 AND 2 lines of the Sound Transit Link system. This means that one can take one train without transfer from here to Bellevue and Redmond, crossing Lake Washington on the world's first light rail pontoon railway. My wife and I took this route while visiting our daughter and son-in-law in Bellevue, and the crossing was a routine non-event, just like it is supposed to be. My last review for this station was 2 years, at which time, only the 1 line serviced this station. Because of the way they designed the routes, the inclusion of the 2 line was seamless, requiring no station outages during the transition. My only small gripe is the signage at a major connection point at the center near the elevators, still only shows the 1 line (with its stops at the airport and university), instead of now the opening of the entire East side of Puget Sound area, accessible via the 2 line. It's confusing for visitors...better just to state that lower level is for Sound Transit, instead of explicitly naming each line, if they don't want to change the signage every time. Another big addition that occurred earlier this year (Feb '26), is the use of tap-to-pay (using a tap enabled payment card to pay for fare at the point of entry) at all stations and bus lines (like NYC and London has). We still ended up using our preloaded Orca card this trip, but can discontinue that for future (unless taking the Monorail, which still requires an Orca card). Transfers are free for 2 hours from the first tap (excluding the Monorail), with initial charge being $3. There are no gates, with the pay stations being intentionally out of the way...it really is about the honor system to tap. We also used Westlake station as the transfer point to get from the monorail on the 3rd floor of the Westlake shopping center down to the lower level where the station actually is. Connecting to the 1 line, we got to Sea-Tac airport station in 41 minutes (though from there, it's quite a walk to get to the terminal area).

    The King Street Union Station is only few blocks from the Seattle Seahawk's Lumen field Stadium…read more Actually the ramp from the station to street level has a wonderful view of the arena. The station primarily servers Amtrak trains, but there's adjacent entrance to the subway line as well, accessible via the ramp. The main building of the station has the iconic clock tower. The station's interior was also beautiful, with high ceilings, art decor on the walls, marble floors and shafts. There were plenty of benches for passengers to sit. Multiple displays were showing the arrival times of the trains. The atmosphere inside the station was much nicer than its exterior suddronding. Once we got to the station, we went to the baggage drop off area. A friendly staff member behind the counter helped us with weighing both of our luggages, tagging them and lining them up for the train. Our train arrived at the platform on time. Our tickets were checked at the door. Staff members were available on the platform to help us find the correct car. Overall I had a wonderful experience of boarding Amtrak train for the first time ever from this station.

We started our journey in Sacramento and I liked that station better. There they have a first class lounge enclosed from the rest of the station. They offered non alcoholic drinks and snacks. In addition they have soft chairs and sofas to sit on. King Street Station totally lacked this. In addition in Sacramento a tram picks you up from the station and takes you to the door of the train so no dragging your luggage across the station. When we arrived at King Street Station they told us to sit on the hard benches even though we were traveling in first class. We had a roomette. The station has bathrooms, but the Women's room was closed for cleaning the entire time we were at the station. We were there an hour. They have a security desk as soon as you walk in, but they don't have luggage tags there. They announced over the loud speaker that announced everyone needs luggage tags. I talked to an attendant and they said they were out. Oops!!! Poor planning. They do have 2 vending machines. A drink one and a snack one. There is no cafe or coffee shop. Sacramento has a coffee shop attached to the station.

    I'm giving this five stars just because it can get you from the airport to downtown for just $3 one…read moreway! Waaaaay more affordable than Uber or Lyft which can be $50-$80, depending on the time of day, etc. While it takes longer, it's not THAT long, and if you time it right, you have a chill ride with money saved for lunch/dinner/shopping, etc. The train itself was clean and it automatically announces which station you're at and which is the next stop - great for anyone nervous about where you are - and there's plenty of signage showing the stops. The only thing about this particular station is that it was a little hard to find because it doesn't appear to be a train station at first, quick glance. It's on University and 2nd - look at the surrounding buildings and you'll see the subway looking tiles and where to go.

    Within walking distance of Pike's Market in Seattle, the Symphony Station stop on the 1 Line Light…read moreRail is part of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel, about 60 to 70 feet below ground. It is named such being next door to Benaroya Hall, the home of the Seattle Symphony. The entrances to the subway system in downtown Seattle are (unintentionally?) hidden. Google will get you to the right corner, but the entrance/exit is specifically in one place. In this case, it's the SouthWest corner of the building, so had to walk around until I found signs for it...even then, it's just not as easy to find as other stations in more transit-intensive cities. You need to choose which train you want to take, before going down the appropriate set of stairs. Once on the platform, one would notice the extreme amount of space between the tracks going in opposite direction, and the lack of height from the platform and the tracks. The gap between the tracks is wide enough to handle 3 or more lanes of cars...so I wondered "That's a lot of work to dig just to allow repair vehicles to come down". Later I learned the history behind it. The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel was initially built (dug) to handle transit buses, serving that purpose from 1990 to 2005, and then shared by light rail and buses from 2005 to 2019. During that time, it was one of only two tunnels shared by both buses and trains in the U.S. Now it is just for Light Rail, with the large bus lanes being a remnant of the past.

    I was at this station to travel from Edmonds to Vancouver Canada. It was my first time here and…read moreman, is there a lot of parking, but it makes sense given people will leave their car for trips! We were getting dropped off so I didn't look at the fees for parking your car. If you're taking the train to Vancouver it's best to arrive at least 15-20 min early so that they can check your passport if heading into Canada.  The station itself was pretty small with about 10 seats inside and a bench or two outside. There's a scale to weigh your bags but I'm not sure if they actually check. There are restrooms and a water fountain available at this location but I didn't use either. There's also vending machines for snacks as well.  I appreciated the fact that there was a screen inside letting us know when the trains were coming and if they were delayed.  The gentleman running the kiosk desk was kind to let us know where to wait to board the business class portion. With the business class ticket you get a $3 off coupon which is enough for a drink.  Overall a pleasant experience for a train stop. I haven't been to many but this one was fair.

    This is the Edmonds Station, for the Amtrak Cascades run, which starts in Seattle, and heads to…read moreVancouver (Canada), and back again. There is also another scheduled run that starts in Portland Oregon, and again finishes in Vancouver. If you want to avoid going into Seattle, you have a few options on the way north, and Edmonds is a perfectly fine station. It's not fancy, it's a train station, that is on the way. The Station Master (guy running the place when we were there on a Monday morning) was friendly, knowledgeable, and took care of us. He made sure our documents were up to snuff, and confirmed what we used for booking. There are just a few seats inside, and a few decor pieces that highlight trains. There is NO food at this station, but just a short walk, there is a Top Pot Donut, if so you need coffee or some donuts. The only issue with getting on at Edmonds, is that most of the view seats nearest to the water are already taken by the Seattle passengers.. so that would be the only downer. Not the fault of the station. There is plenty of parking for someone to be dropped off, but there is no overnight parking here, so you will need to find maybe street parking of a pay lot, if that's your plan. Overall, great little station.
