mapleleaves Posted March 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) LRV? If you mean the Light Rail, be aware that there is walking at both ends, so you need to be able to easily manage your luggage . Depending on which baggage carousel you use, the walk can be up to 10 minutes from the airport to the Light Rail station. Basically you're walking thru the SeaTac parking garage, so it's flat, and covered, but it's a walk. You would disembark at the International District (5th and Jackson) and walk about 2 blocks to the Amtrak station. The rail trip will itself be about 30 minutes. http://www.soundtransit.org/schedules/link-light-rail Edited March 25, 2016 by mapleleaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gardyloo Posted March 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Also note there are only two trains per day from Seattle to Vancouver, early morning and early evening. You can store your bags at King Street if you have time to explore the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted March 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2016 If you are not attached to the train experience.... consider Quick Shuttle. For $50 you go from the Seattle's airport to Vancouver downtown and possibly the cruise terminal. 6 to 7 daily one way departures to meet your schedule. http://www.quickcoach.com/schedule.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note: there is an entrance to King Street Station on the street level off of S Jackson St. so you don't have to walk all the way to S. King st. I an advocate of the train, because you have a great view, a café car, and wifi. Plus you don't have to wait at the border crossing like shuttles do.
