BUS to Seatle from IDAHO or WASHINGTON STATE

Postby SimonUribeConvers » August 27th, 2009

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any of you know of a bus line (not Greyhound) that serves Washington State. I'm living in Moscow Idaho and I want to go to Seatle but the only thing I've found so far is the Greyhound bus, which has the worst route and schedule!

Any ideas?

gracias!

You could try a rideshare. You might get lucky with your preferred schedule.

Northwestern Trailways is another option.

You'll find precious little for public transit in Eastern WA. In fact, you're lucky that there's even Greyhound near you!

The Amtrak goes from Spokane, WA to Seattle, WA. But headed Westbound it goes through Spokane in the middle of the night. :(

If you're traveling during holiday seasons, it should be easy enough to get a ride with students from Pullman, WA (home of Washington State University) to Seattle.

skimaxpower is right: in eastern washington you should count yourself lucky greyhound even serves you.

bus lines......aren't very popular in the states. public transit, when available, is usually only within a major city or metropolitan area. if you want to get around, you fly, or drive. sadly, the US isn't really designed for people without cars.

and i LOVE amtrak and trains in general, but the problem is always that they're so damned expensive...

i would try the suggested rideshare. you can find someone tolerable, i'm sure. the alternative is taking the greyhound bus. i've done the journey 3 times from san francisco to seattle, back when i was younger and stupider. to say it is no fun is an understatement. you get some weird looks.

good luck.
