Taking the Bus from Seattle's Greyhound Bus Station to Vancouver, Canada

The Greyhound Bus Station - steps away from Seattle's Stadiums 

Greyhound Bus Station, Seattle, USA 

Feeling  a little sad as we were leaving Seattle and ending our holiday. We had a great time here and enjoyed ourselves.

The hotel front desk called a taxi for us and it took us to the Greyhound Bus Station. The fare was reasonable at US $ 15.00.

We purchased our bus tickets to Vancouver, Canada and were surprised that it cost much more than if we had done it on line.





















We did check the ticket price online a couple of days ago but were hesitant to buy them.

Using public wi fi, we were concerned with the security of our visa card information.

The Greyhound staff told us we could have reserved the tickets and pay for them on the day we travel.

This way, the discounted fare would still apply.  We will remember for next time that we would save almost 50% on long distance bus fare if we book our tickets online two days before our trip.

We can pay for them at the terminal on the day of our travel.

The bus station was clean and modern.

Vending machines providing snacks and drinks to passengers

It did not have a refreshment stall but there were three vending machines from which passengers could purchase snacks and beverages.

An ATM machine was available for passengers at the station.

There was an ATM machine for passengers at the bus station.

It even provided free wi fi to waiting passengers! I liked that!

For those ticketed passengers desiring to visit Seattle before boarding, the bus station would provide storage for their luggage for US$8.00 per piece of luggage. How convenient! 

Our bus was delayed half an hour departing Seattle at 3:15pm.

Finding out that I could plug in my computer on the cross border bus, I was happy.

 Looking forward to getting a lot of writing done on our bus trip back to Vancouver, Canada!
