a huge factor for me going to Seattle or especially coming from there is the sheer nastiness of the station. The floors look like they have not been cleaned in 100 years. I have watched them just leave nasty spills right in the middle of the floor while cleaning staff just stood around. it is truly horrid and nasty. There is no reason for it. Give people free tickets in exchange for mopping or something. The Portland station is nice and clean, and Los Angeles was very nice too. mg
