Your options are to leave at 6:35 am and get there at 3:00 pm, give up a whole day leaving at 11:30 and arriving at 9:40, or do an overnight from 5:45 pm to 10:55 am (17h10).

This is all somewhat optimistic since the trains have historically often been late or swapped out for buses. Maybe it's gotten better lately (well, before the now 1 year old travel restrictions).
What about adding a few more Seattle - Vancouver trains in the day?

Sounds like the return of the Montrealer.
Maybe they might look at returning The Gull.
