Built in 1919 as a Canadian Northern Railway terminal, the station features elegant Beaux-Arts architecture with a grand facade, marble floors, and a spacious waiting hall. It serves as the terminus for Amtrak's Cascades service to Seattle and Portland, as well as the luxury Rocky Mountaineer tourist trains.
