Ephrata, Washington

It should be noted that, when purchasing an Amtrak bus ticket, from Ephrata to Spokane for example, that you will be boarding at the Greyhound bus stop (it should be on Google Maps) several blocks SW at a closed Shell gas station on the main road.

Whistle stop. Little shelter from wind or rain (not much of that though). Greyhound bus stops here also, by the way. Plenty of parking.

We have used the Amtrak station several times. It sure beats battling horrible winter roads over the passes going to Seattle. My son and I came back from Libby, Montana this way one time. Drawbacks can be very early or late hours or delays over track sharing with BNSF.

The rest rooms need to be available when AMTRAK trains are expected!!! It is inexcusable that the rest rooms are locked. Shame on the City of Ephrata for not offering the most basic of services... public rest rooms when folks are waiting for trains.

Its alright. Has parking. Had to drag friends bag through gravel, no platform.(dont't know what he packed in it but it was heavy.) While a conductor is telling us to hurry up because the train arrived 45 mins late because of heavy snow fall. Just a precaution.
