To get a feeling for what the place looked like long ago, look up as you enter. There's a grand, ornate cast-plaster ceiling that deserves to have a chandelier hanging from it.

Yesterday, I brought my 15 year old daughter to the train depot- her first time ever traveling alone for a long distance- and when the clerk, Carol found this out, she recalled another 15 year old girl traveling alone, and called her to the front desk. When she had the girls together, she told them that she'd personally escort them on the train so they could get a good seat and if they wanted... more

Thought I'd post the phone number here in case you leave something on a train or in the station. It took me some digging to find the number:

King St Station Lost n Found
382-4713

The person I spoke with for my lost and found items was helpful, though I did not find the book.

An example of America's travel history

Seattle King Street Station, now used exclusively by Amtrak passenger trains and the local commuter trains, is a great example of America's travel history. From it's amazing mosaic tiled floor to the soaring clock tower, you can see evidence of it's better life. Although this year (2006) celebrates the station's 100th anniversary, neither the city nor Amtrak have made an effort to restore the... more
