I said Seattle, not Washington. Looks like the mix has changed a little since I last looked, but they've completely eliminated natural gas and coal except for when they buy from the common market in emergencies: https://www.seattle.gov/city-light/about-us/communications/media-information
84% hydro, 5% nuclear, 4% wind, 1% biogas. Note there's no solar listed; Seattle is indeed not a great place for solar due to its latitude, but it does get 152 sunny days per year, not 60.

Trains are indeed great. Electric trains powered directly by the grid, with a substantial portion of non-fossil fuels in the mix, are even better.
