Getting From Seattle to Vancouver By Rental Car
A lot of people go to Seattle and then drive to Vancouver.
Getting from Seattle to Vancouver is not hard by car. It takes around 3 hours but that can vary greatly depending on speed, traffic, breaks and the border US/Canada crossing.
This is what the drive looks like from Seattle to Vancouver (picture of a map at a rest area).
Expect to stop at a rest stop or two.
Seattle Sidetrip: The Public Market Center
A lot of travelers with enough vacation time do both Vancouver and Seattle in the same trip. That's what I did last time with a little less than a week spent in both. Having never been to Seattle, it was good to do. It has a distinct character from Vancouver.
Vancouver was more my style though. My vote is for Vancouver if I had to pick between the two. That's how Vancouver'd came to be. Still, Seattle has its neighborhoods and sites.
The Seattle Public Market Center is a big destination. It's a complex of unique stores at the market and the blocks surrounding.
Lots of produce, meat and all kinds of giftable things can be found in the market.
