Some interior views from the interior of Kings Street Station in Seattle, WA.
Photo of interior of King Street Station taken from the ground floor highlights the rich early 20th century architecture, including spectacular crown molding featuring inset floral motifs on the celling and garlands down the walls framing round interior windows. The warm lighting comes from historic globe light fixtures mounted to the wall and hanging from chandeliers. This photo also shows the underside of the round observation balcony of the second floor and the brass fixtures on the doors.

This photo also shows the modern LCD screen showing departure times of various trains and busses from the station and the tops of the long wooden benches original to the building. Detail of the marble and mosaic work, as well as the historic light fixtures. The fine mosaic is a scroll of green with gold highlights, and the marble is white with grey veining. The historic lamp has an oxidized base up to three globe lights that are carved on the bottom to let more light travel down. Photo taken of the ceiling pointing straight up. Detail of exquisite plaster molding of the celling, all in white. There is a repeating motif of inset grand rosettes with garlands trailing on the frames around them. They are lit from the side by natural light from high windows and below by warm light from hanging chandeliers, out of frame.

My first solo trip on the Coast Starlight train. I'm nervous but excited.
City street view of a historic building with the sign "King Street Station" across the roof in red. The building has a red brick and white marble facade, with a green roof. The is an attached clocktower showing it is 8:50 am. In the background is the embassy suites hotel and the Seattle stadium.
