If you arrive by train there is one game in town - Amtrak. Amtrak provides service from all along the west coast. The Amtrak Cascades runs three trains a day between Seattle and Portland (two run between Seattle and Eugene, Oregon, via Portland). The trains stop at King Street Station, which is located just south of downtown, near Safeco Field, and Qwest Field two major stadiums in Seattle.

Sound Transit also operates a rail/bus system around the region, including a commuter train between Seattle and Tacoma. They also operate out of the King Street Station.

Cross-country buses are mainly provided by Greyhound Bus Line, which has a bus terminal at the northeast edge of the downtown Seattle core. Gray Line Tours is a major regional bus line that provides many leisure bus tours.

Metro Transit is the major local bus line in the Seattle area. Their buses and bus stops can be found all around downtown Seattle. All Metro bus travel within the downtown core is free of charge.
