On the trip from Seattle to Vancouver, it's important to be on the left side of the train, since that's where the water is. Wander down to the cafe car for coffee while the train inches through Everett, since the switchyard scenery isn't as interesting. Ideally, plan your trip for a season when the sun has already risen while you roll along the Sound between Seattle and Everett -- it was pretty gray on this trip until we got north of Marysville.
Don't miss Shipwreck Point between Edmonds and Mukilteo (not in these pictures), Rock Point Oyster along Chuckanut Drive, or the white rock in White Rock, BC. Look for eagles near Crescent Beach - not many today.
It takes four hours or more on the train, less than three in the car (even if border is slow), but the train is just plain more relaxing.
