Curbed Seattle - Seattle and Vancouver, B. C., two cities with similar geography and culture, and two cities that are growing towards each other like so many other city pairs around the world. Between 2000 and 2040, Seattle will have seen at least 30 percent growth and Vancouver will have seen 50 percent. Why not connect them? http://seattle.curbed.com/2017/2/8/14549476/vancouver-seattle-bullet-train-high-speed-rail Crosscut - Seattle to Vancouver in an hour: Is that our future The dream is to send super-fast trains — the type capable of going 250 miles per hour — between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.
