Notes:

In previous years the ability to add train cars frequently allowed an increase in capacity on peak travel days. It is not possible to easly add coaches to new Amtrak Cascades trains. As a result, fewer seats are available on many trains this year when compared to last year. Ridership is constrained by this lack of capacity.
The Bellingham service started on 9/2/99, As a result, monthly ridership for individual trains and comparisons to previous levels must be interpreted with the following in mind:
- Train 763 was train 761 prior to 9/2/99 and compares with old 761 ridership numbers.
- Train 761 1999 totals includes old and new schedule ridership numbers.
- Train 762 1999 totals includes old and new schedule ridership numbers.
