Documenting Seattle's Next Infrastructure Upgrade

Seattle-to-Portland


Posted by Frank on September 05 2008

SeaPort Air claims it's the first "green" airline, since it buys offsets for the small, fuel-effiicient turbo props it flies between Seattle and Portland.

The original "green" way to get to Portand, Amtrak Cascades, saw July ridership on the Seattle-Portland route increase 26 percent over last year.

SeaPort Air, which operates out of Boeing Field, claims 90 minutes from "downtown to downtown." Prices start at $99 each way. Amtrak Cascades currently takes about 3.5 hours, with a goal of getting it down to 2.5 sometime in the future.
