Rather than waiting ten hours for the train and not having a hotel room during that time, I'd be inclined to consider renting a car and driving along the coast, perhaps keeping the car to use during your first day or two in Seattle. If you'll have seven days in Vancouver later, there's no need to rush around doing tourist things now. I'd also suggest spending closed to equal amounts of time in each city. Vancouver is nice, but so is Seattle.
