In my experience, the diner car is adjacent to the first (no only) Seattle sleeper and the sightseer lounge is the next car. I hope you enjoy your trip.
Yep, no additional expense. I would have preferred the family bedroom, as my kids are still small and in just a couple years they'll no longer fit in that space (so this was a one-time opportunity to try it out), but the offer of 2 roomettes is reasonable. We previously used 48,706 points for the family bedroom, so this works out to 24,353 per roomette for SEA-CHI.
