  • Amtrak ridership is now well above pre-pandemic levels between Portland and British Columbia, and it's only expected to grow as new trains debut in Seattle next year.

The Seattle City Council has approved a $300 million expansion of the Amtrak Cascades service, aiming to enhance rail connectivity between Seattle and Canada. This project, set to be completed by 2025, will see the addition of four daily round trips, increasing the total to 12 daily services. The expansion is expected to significantly reduce travel times, improve regional mobility, and stimulate economic growth by creating jobs and boosting tourism. The funding for this initiative comes from a combination of federal, state, and local sources, with the goal of fostering sustainable transportation options in the Pacific Northwest.
