Typically, airfares within the US are cheaper. You should post this question in the Seattle forum, it's more likely to get picked up by someone who can answer it for you.

There's only one train that runs between Vancouver and Seattle which is the "Cascade" on the Amtrak website. The others are buses.

The correct station for Seattle is "Seattle" not pier 69.

Pier 69 is listed as thats the boat to Victoria. Some people make connections from Amtrak to Vancouver Island. Click on my name and read inside page on trips to Vanc and Victoria. I think you will save significantly on airfare from Seattle.
