Thought I'd post the phone number here in case you leave something on a train or in the station. It took me some digging to find the number: King St Station Lost n Found 382-4713 The person I spoke with for my lost and found items was helpful, though I did not find the book.

Seattle King Street Station, now used exclusively by Amtrak passenger trains and the local commuter trains, is a great example of America's travel history. From it's amazing mosaic tiled floor to the soaring clock tower, you can see evidence of it's better life. Although this year (2006) celebrates the station's 100th anniversary, neither the city nor Amtrak have made an effort to restore the grand old "lady". The streets outside are uneven and riddled with potholes. The mosaic tiled floor has seen much better days, showing wear with large fractures throughout. The passenger waiting area is filled with seating that would have been new in the 70's, but is now missing arms and starting to tear. As train stations go, I've seen smaller and more dilapidated, but they could have put a little more effort (or any at all) to improve it for it's milestone year.

Editor's Review

The clocktower on this neoclassical building makes it easy to spot King Street Station.  See the full editorial review.
