Amtrak Coast Starlight Sacremento to Seattle

seattle
Sacramento is the capital of the U.S. state of California, and the county seat of Sacramento County. It is located at the confluence of the Sacramento River and the American River in California's expansive Central Valley. With a 2008 estimated population of 463,794, it is the seventh-largest city in California.[3] Sacramento is the core cultural and economic center of the Sacramento Metropolitan Area which includes El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo counties and has a combined population of approximately 2,136,604. The region has also been cited as one of the ten "most livable" regions in America in 2004,[4] and the city was cited by Time magazine as America's most integrated in 2002.[5]
Sacramento became a city due to the efforts of John Sutter, a Swiss immigrant, and James W. Marshall. Sacramento grew faster due to the protection of Sutter's Fort, which was established by Sutter in 1839. During the California Gold Rush, Sacramento was a major distribution point, a commercial and agricultural center, and a terminus for wagon trains, stagecoaches, riverboats, the telegraph, the Pony Express, and the First Transcontinental Railroad.
California State University, Sacramento, more commonly known as Sacramento State or Sac State, is the major local university. It is one of the twenty-three campuses of the California State University system. In addition, the University of California, Davis is located in nearby Davis, 15 miles west of the capital. The UC Davis Medical Center, a world-renowned research hospital, is located in the city of Sacramento.

Looks like you had a great time playing gypsy. :-) You gave me an idea for my next trip. Around the country via Amtrak. That's something I've always kind of wanted to do. I love Seattle too. I've lived in a number of places here in the USA but I always thought if I had to settle down and live in one place other then where I'm at, Seattle or Portland would be it. Went to Army basic training at Ft. Lewis Washington back in 1970. Every morning there was Mt. Rainer off in the distance. Good memory.

Did you ever move to Seattle from England? I was their last year (2010) and I love it. Pike Market is wonderful with all of the seafood and fruits.
