Spirit of Washington Dinner Train

On October 29, 2007, the operators of the dinner train announced they would be shutting down the Tacoma route due to poor ridership.

[1] In the summer of 2007, the train was forced to change starting locations when the owners of the Woodinville Subdivision, BNSF Railway, would not extend their contract.

BNSF allowed King County to move forward with improvements on I-405, which broke the connection between Woodinville and Renton.

It serviced central Pierce County, on the line going from Tacoma to Lake Kapowsin near Mount Rainier and back.

[2] Due to poor ticket sales after the move to Tacoma, the owners decided to pull the pilot project and close the train down.
