Yes, it's safe, it's surrounded by a relatively lively business district of shops, coffeehouses, bars and restaurants. It's not a long walk to the waterfront as long as you're not schlepping your luggage. Access to the front door is a dead end, so no traffic to contend with.
Is there a specific place to catch an Uber ride once you disembark the sounder train here? First time rider. Not sure where to go. Thanks!

Yes,"there should be enough parking space available for the Uber driver to park like a taxi cab on the perimeter of the Sounder arrival point on 4th Ave there @ the start of China town @ Jackson St.TheRealInternetMan😎
Is there a place to check baggage so that you can tour Seattle
I have never stayed overnight in that area but I did find a link to a discussion in a forum. Basically nap at the station or get a nearby room.
Here's the link: https://discuss.amtraktrains.com/index.php?/topic/16102-any-advice-for-where-to-sleep-near-king-st-station-in-seattle-please/
Good luck!

You can take an Uber or taxi; otherwise it's quite a walk down the waterfront especially with luggage.
Going from Portland to Bellingham I have a transfer to an Amtrak chartered motorcoach bus in Seattle. Where do I catch the bus?
Kelly Farrell | Aug 11, 2022
Chase Nunes | Aug 12, 2022
There are bus platforms directly outside the entrance on King Street. (The bus comes in right at track level on the outside of the building) Amtrak staff will also be available on hand to help guide you.
If we are transferring from a train to a bus that will take us to Vancouver, BC, and we have a 3 hr layover here, is there a place to get a rapid antigen test to use for Canadian border crossing?

We are getting into town at noon to catch a train at 4PM. Can we check or store our luggage at the station for a few hours while we explore the area. Is the station staffed at noon?
Mary Bennett | Aug 11, 2022
Eric Mierzwinski | Aug 12, 2022
It is staffed... they will hold or store bags for a fee. If you are an Amtrak passenger it is $10 per bag. Depending on the size. They will combine bags to count it as 1... if you are a non-Amtrak passenger then they charge $20 per bag.
That Mainly is due to the games at the stadium.
Station opens at 6am. Ticket counter is open from 6am-9pm
It's like any other urban train station. Architecturally beautiful, under constant maintenance/ renovation which makes it 'feel' shabby when it's not, lots of vagrants around doing their thing, high end hotels / restaurants/ offices right next door, crowds during commute times, vacant at 4 am. You'll be fine.
If you go to www.soundtransit.org you will find everything. I have their pdf scheule up on my screen now.
The Seattle to Everett is the 516 Amtrak train at 7:45am, the 1700 Sounder train at 4:05pm, the 1702 at 4:33pm, 1704 at 5:05 pm, 1706 at 5:35pm and last, the 518 Amtrak at 7:00pm.

Not sure, there are parking spots next to station but it looked like for short term parking when we took family members to Depot. There are parking garages fairly close to area but then there's the walk to Depot Try calling station for some tips. I see there are parking apps in Google play store too but I don't know how good they are. Anyone else have suggestions?
Best bet is to arrive the day before... Trains are no different from any other form mass transportation in the USA. Delays can happen for any number of reasons, such as weather, mechanical, human, traffic backup, electrical etc... So with that being said arrive early and enjoy the departure city.
is there a rental car station when at the Seattle train station?
Daniel Vandercook | Aug 11, 2022
Eric Mierzwinski | Aug 12, 2022
Zipcar, is the only one outside. Unless you set up a car rental prior to pick you up? Not sure how close the nearest car rental agency is.
Otherwise the light link rail is a block away, runs every 15 min to the airport. The airport has car rentals.
Yes, leave car at home. The parking is expensive around Seattle. Some places charge $50 a day. Depending on where you are coming from, I suggest light rail, bus, or even an Uber. Have a fun ride and thanks for choosing Amtrak!
There r not lockers, but there is free baggage check if u are catching the train. If uare not, you can store stuff for about $10 or so. I have done both.
Please let me know if you know where I would get off the Airporter Shuttle and what bus I would take to get to the King Street Station. I am coming from the east side of the mountains.

Taking 2 day train trip. Have booked a sleeping berth. Have regular size suitcase & carry on. Will I need to pack everything needed during those 2 travel days in carry on or will I have access to both during trip?
Jean Henry | Aug 11, 2022
C Cartwright | Aug 12, 2022
Double-check with Amtrak. I think you would be able to bring both suitcases into your sleeper. Amtrak allows several bags as carry on. Once checked I don't think they will allow access until you reach your destination.
The public transportation available at King St. Station is taxi, Uber and Lyft. The bus and light rail are east of the station by approx. 1 1/2 blocks, but you must go up to 4th Ave (street level) and then down to the transportation center which is under ground.
Go to the International District/Chinatown Light Rail station (underground), take the light rail or any underground bus to Westlake Station and take the elevated Monorail from the Westlake Center.
