Railway Antiquing Adventure

King Street Station, Seattle, WA

SOLD OUT!

Now Wait-Listing

“Woo-Woo!” Can you hear that train rumbling down the track?

By special arrangement, SITU has negotiated a group rail fare via Amtrak this June! Won't you come along?

We will depart as a group from Seattle's historical King Street Station aboard the southbound train headed for Centralia, WA. There is antique shopping to be done this day! For refreshment, there are a variety of local restaurants very nearby the shopping district. All are encouraged to wear their favorite Victorian or Edwardian attire for the day's outing. Be sure to wear appropriate shoes so that your feet will be comfortable walking or standing. Purchases made, we will reboard the train for our ride back to Seattle. All aboard?!?

The Details:

Saturday, June 6, 2020

We will be met in Centrailia by the Edwardian Society Members from Portland, OR.

What are the activities:

  • Centralia is well known for the many, many antique and thrift stores within 4 blocks of the rail station.
  • Our intent is to visit as many shops as people would like.  Feel free to use the map handout for a self-guided shopping adventure. Shop alone, or with a friend, and enjoy your afternoon.

  • There are also a number of eateries nearby, including the famed McMenamin’s “Olympic Club” restaurant.  SITU is NOT organizing a group rate luncheon nor a planned time to dine.  Everyone is free to eat when and where they wish, and with whom.  

What is the cost:

At this time, the price is $45.00* ROUND TRIP. *Subject to change by Amtrak if not confirmed/purchased.

 

In order to guarantee this amount, SITU must confirm at least 15 paid passengers by 2 pm on  Monday, January 27, 2020.

Special needs travelers:

According to Amtrak, if you have mobility issues and travel using a wheelchair or scooter, there is NO additional cost to bring it aboard!  You and your traveling companion may be seated on the main floor of the coach so you don’t need to climb stairs.  Wheelchairs and scooters will be secured during travel for safety.  Be sure to arrive well in advance for boarding accommodation.

  • Use the PayPal button provided below;
  • SITU will hold the funds until we have gathered at least 15 participants;

Again, the special fare originates ONLY out of Seattle.
