Vancouver BC.'s station is modern-restored and simply functional. A lot better than some other cities/towns.

Seattlers would be proud of their restored downtown Seattle Amtrak train station. Looks especially nice now with Christmas tree, wreaths ... gleaming white throughout with hand-embedded tiny tile wall finishes.

We actually got lost and ended going up some hills ..I guess it's part of the Queen Anne or Capitol Hill neighbourhoods. Not sure..... Vancouver BC has some neighbourhoods like that. North Vancouver across the Lion's Gate bridge is built on mountain-like slopes with wooded areas with decent hiking trails. (and mountain biking but not familiar with that).
