Seats were comfortable and the train was well kept. Getting to downtown Seattle from the station there (East of Safeco Field) wasn't too bad, being 2-3 stations on the Light Rail from DT. Pricing was alright. We booked literally less than 12 hours before we left and paid something like $100 round trip, but I know that it would be $70-80 if we had booked at least 3 days in advance.
It was painfully slow at times, but 4 hours each direction isn't too bad when you consider that you would have to wait at the border anyways.
I would definitely take it again in the future!

Neat, I would love to do that one day.
Out of the 4 hours, how much of that trip was between White Rock and Vancouver?
