The primarily red-brick construction on the outside really does not do justice to the spectacular-looking main hall in the inside. As a visitor, there does not appear to be anything to see or do here anymore, other than to take photos. Although perhaps you dont have to do much. One could simply take a seat and try to imagine the hubbub that the station experienced in its heydays before regular train services ceased only 60 years after the building was opened. Such a shame that more active use could not be made.

Nicely restored grand railroad station in Seattles International District. Grand Concourse with barrel vault marble ceiling. No longer used as an active passenger terminal but open to public during the day. Amtrak and Sounder trains are active in recently restored King Street Station across the road. Easy to get to via light rail, trolley and bus. On edge of historic China Town and Pioneer Square with plethora of food and entertainment options. A few blocks from Elliott Bay Waterfront.

Beautiful spot for the photographer. Went around 10:30 AM on a Tuesday and the place was almost empty. Open to the public during the day, so grab a cup of coffee with a friend and head here. Bring the camera and take some artsy pictures. I’ll definitely be returning with my DSLR to take some professional shots.

Beautiful building architectural design is really impressive for the era. The building itself is in remarkable condition. The inside is clean but has a sketchy feeling to it. Lots of people around that look homeless. Walking up to the building is a real sketchy thing. Homeless people everywhere with the smell of urine is everywhere. There are lots of people with a police presence so I dont worry about issues its just not a comfortable situation walking around at times.If you like early 1900 architecture its worth a visit to see the building.

A historical landmark with a grand waiting room. Clean bathrooms and posters with details around architecture designs and history.

Cascadia Rail is needed here with 200 mph trains. The current service, convenience, and architecture are good, though.

Im sort of glad more people dont know about this. A beautiful example of Beaux Arts architecture.

Beautiful Architectural gem., though acoustics leave something to be desired. Because of its shape and hard surface areas it is very echoy.

There will tell up front, we dont care about our customers. Ended up buying from video only. I will never do business with them going foward!

Beautifully kept historic public building. The train station from way back when. Bathrooms and seating inside. Security helps keep the homeless from sleeping in there. Take a peek. Has nice acoustics. You can rent it for events.

Classy train station. The architecture of the building is beautiful. Staff seem to be nice but not as cooperative. Train isn’t always on schedule. Prepare to be 30 min late, sometimes more.

Probably a decent place. Im working in the area and my review of my work location is its dirty, dusty and hardly any lighting. Its very noisy. I work in the construction industry. The parking garage is overpriced.

The inside of Union station is amazing its like stepping back in time. The architecture is phenomenal, the building is very clean when comparing it to Seattle and security is always around to help.

Just like the rest of Seattle, under construction, when that project is done they will tear it down and try again, with no improvements.
