I took Amtrak between Seattle and Vancouver recently. Great trip, stellar views, and overall just a super easy way to cross the border. No crazy invasive checks or waiting in lines, it was just like getting off a plane, but in the middle of downtown.

Where did you go through customs? Or do you mean Vancouver, WA?

They do customs after the Bellingham (going north) stop while the train is rolling.

You go through it on arrival in Canada. It's the only way off the train.

I recently took it from Seattle to Portland. It was just as fast as a car with the only difference being that we had to get to the station a little earlier, but we could hang out in the cafe car and just play card games.
