After more than a decade at a previous venue, the festival's annual Pink Tie Party was hosted at the train station for a travel-themed soiree.
Car 512 at the Jackson Street terminal of the Waterfront Streetcar, with Union Station and King Street Station in the background. This is a "composed in advance" image. The facade of Union Station faces north. So, realized that I would need to wait for a clear, sunny morning, during the time of year when the sun was far enough north to illuminate the facade. It was well worth the wait (!). Union Station was completed in 1911, and was used as a rail passenger terminal to 1971. Restoration was completed during 2000. Today, the building houses the head office of the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit). The former waiting room ("Great Hall") may be rented for weddings and other events. King Street Station (only the tower is visible) was completed during 1908 by the Great Northern Railway. It has always been used as a passenger rail terminal, but most of the interior decorative touches were concealed (or destroyed) as part of "modernizations" during the 1960s. Restoration began during 2003 and was completed during 2013. 1993 September.
The golden age of rail travel may be gone, but these stations have survived and even thrived in the 21st century.

Last week I flew into Manchester, NH and drove all the way to Long Island for a series of sales meetings. My schedule didn't leave much time for photography, however along the way I pulled over in Worcester, MA and spent a few minutes wandering around Union Station. Built in 1911 (Watson & Huckel) during the heyday of railroads, the station fell into ruin, but was renovated and reopened in 2000 serving Amtrak and commuter rail and bus lines. © Robert Segal 2011
