SEATTLE — Amtrak will add a second round trip to Vancouver, B.C., starting on March 7, restoring the line to prepandemic levels of service, according to Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell.
Amtrak, in a letter to Washington State Department of Transportation and the Oregon Department of Transportation, said it will also increase the number of daily trips between Seattle and Portland from four to six this fall.
“I’m thankful that Amtrak is finally on the path to fully restore service in the Pacific Northwest. I-5 corridor in the state of Washington is one of the most congested corridors in the nation, and the Cascades service provides a convenient alternative to travelers,” Cantwell said in a news release.
