Whats the best & cheapest way to get from Vancouver to Seattle for a weekend break?

A group of us, about 5 to 8 of us, are planning on travelling down to Seattle for a long weekend from Vancouver. (We are Irish and only in Canada a few months so still dont know the transport system off.



So whats best? Plane, rail, bus??? and what would be the cheapest also?



Or any other tips and advise you can give me would be much appreciated?



Oh and happy Canada day!Whats the best %26amp; cheapest way to get from Vancouver to Seattle for a weekend break?
Amtrak Cascades - attached is the site for their timetable. Take a look at this site as they have rail passes available for travel in the United States if you plan to do any more travelling. They also have specials on certain days of the week.



It is much faster and less expensive than busing it. You could try posting a note on Craigslist asking if anyone would be willing to drive you. It is free and won't hurt to try.



If you fly, you will miss the beauty of the trip and won't save very much time.
Quick Shuttle runs services between Seattle and Vancouver with stops including SeaTac Airport and Bellingham.



Cantrail Coach Lines also runs express services between Seattle, Richmond, Surrey and Vancouver.



Both services offer several downtown drop-off points with journeys terminating at Pacific Central Station in Station Street Vancouver.Whats the best %26amp; cheapest way to get from Vancouver to Seattle for a weekend break?
Probably renting a van.
Bus is cheapest, rail is nicest. Plane is expensive and requires transport to and from the airport.
