What's a cheap and easy way to travel to Washington State if you live in California?
I want to go visit someone in Granite Falls Washington and I live in Bakersfield California. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions on how I can do this? I don't care about comfort or anything just want it cheap as possible.

Answer 1 :
the train
Answer 2 :
Greyhound is the absolute least expensive way to go. Am-track is the the next less expensive if you go coach, a sleeper car will run you as much as a plane ticket.
Answer 3 :
Take a bus!!!...
Answer 4 :
The easiest & most cost effective way to make this trip would be to use an Amtrak San Joaquin train (mid afternoon departure) from Bakersfield to Sacramento and then transfer to the Coast starlight train north to Seattle. The trip costs only about $90 one way most days. Once in Seattle just take Sound Transit route #510 to Everett cost $2.50 including a free transfer, and then Community Transit route #280 from Everett to Granite Falls. Good Luck!
