Seattle Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Los Angeles
Roundtrip rail getaway to Seattle from Los Angeles on the Coast Starlight
Amtrak Vacations runs this six-day independent rail vacation between Los Angeles and Seattle, riding the Coast Starlight round trip in Coach class with two nights spent onboard the train each way. Three nights in a Seattle hotel anchor the stay, built around a Seattle CityPASS covering the Space Needle and Seattle Aquarium, plus a choice of three more attractions, and a multi-day hop-on-hop-off or city sightseeing tour. The operator's description also points travelers toward Kerry Park for photographs of the skyline and, on clear days, Mount Rainier, along with the Seattle Arboretum, Discovery Park and Gas Works Park. No day-by-day itinerary is published for this package, so the exact split between the long Coast Starlight journey and time in Seattle is not detailed here. It suits travelers near Los Angeles who want a train-based getaway to Seattle, comfortable with two nights each way spent onboard the train in Coach class rather than a private cabin.
