[QUOTE]Originally posted by ChrisJ: [QB] candy46 asked: "Chris mentioned staying in Seattle and taking the 760 in AM to Van BC. Do you have any recommendations for reasonably priced accomodations in Seattle that would be fairly close to the amtrak station?" Depends on what you call reasonable. I stayed at the Pioneer Square Hotel, a 5 minute cab ride from King St. Station, for about 150 + tax with a AAA discount. Nice, old historical, recently refurbished. I'm sure there's cheaper, but not as close. And lots of restaurants in the neighborhood too. "The train station in Van BC.....is it far from where the cruise ships dock?" Not sure - maybe 10-15 minutes by cab, but that's just a guess. "Does the cascade have a good reputation for being pretty much on time from Seattle to Van bc and vice versa? The cruise ship leaves at 5 pm so I would want to be in Van bc no later than 2 pm." I checked it every day for a week before I took it. It was always within 15 minutes. Early a couple times. Mine arrived at noon, cleared customs by 12:15. You should have no problem, barring some major delay. "One more question that just came to mind....Is there a passenger train that has a run from Van bc or Seattle clear up to Denali National Park or that area??? I haven't heard of one but maybe there is one through a private line?? It would be nice if either amtrak or via would initiate one! It prob would be a very expensive venture!!" Nope, Alaska's not connected by any rail line to either Canada or USA. Chris [/QB][/QUOTE]
