You can't really 'drive along the coast' from Vancouver to Seattle (you can in some portions, but it's very convoluted and complicated).

A lot of the drive looks like this: https://goo.gl/maps/oqZLk

and this: https://goo.gl/maps/gCvJ5

By contrast, the train hugs the coast and is very scenic: http://www.discovery.org/scripts/vie...wnload&id=5531

Also, parking the car in downtown Seattle will be an expensive proposition, even when you factor train fare into the math.

Sounds like the OP is going to explore the city, not hang about a railway station for 10 hours. Sounds like a great use of available time.
