The Amtrak station is on Harris Avenue in Bellingham's Fairhaven district, right next to the terminal for the Alaska Marine Highway System (the Alaska Ferry). On a daily schedule, Amtrak travels from Vancouver BC to the Eugene area in Oregon and passes through Bellingham four times each day, both morning and evening. Amtrak is my favorite way to catch a daytime Seattle Mariners baseball game. Hop the morning train to Seattle (it debarks right by the Safeco Field) and ride it back home again after the game. Obviously, Amtrak is also a favorite way for people to get to the Alaska Ferry Terminal as well, assuming they are not taking their cars on the ferry.
