US Canada Peace Bridge border crossing
US to Canada Peace Bridge border crossing. Buffalo NY to Fort Erie, Ontario and Niagara Parkway. Filmed August 2014. Because That's the way we roll! **NOTE: BEFORE ASKING US what documentation you will need to cross the border, there are tons of websites that will answer all your questions. Start with a page such as: Scroll down to the category Entering Canada: General Tips and Special Situations. Interview by Border Officer and go on from there. (For safety's sake, we have made it our policy to never answer specific questions. All we will say - for the millionth time - is that as long as you have your proper documentation and ARE who you say you are, then crossing can, and should, be a pleasant experience.)
The US-Canada Border Splits This Road Down The Middle
Rue Canusa (or Canusa Avenue) is a street that's split in two by a border: the northern part is in Stanstead, Canada, and the southern part is in Derby Line, USA — and border crossings here aren't as easy as they used to be.

I-5 Bridge, Columbia River Interstate Bridge to Washington
Driving across I-5 Bridge, Columbia River Interstate Bridge to Washington State - 5.11.2013
The Interstate Bridge (also Columbia River Interstate Bridge, I-5 Bridge, Portland-Vancouver Interstate Bridge, Vancouver-Portland Bridge) is a pair of nearly identical steel vertical-lift, through-truss bridges that carry Interstate 5 traffic over the Columbia River between Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, in the United States.
The bridge opened to traffic in 1917 as a single bridge carrying two-way traffic. A second, twin bridge opened in 1958 with each bridge carrying one-way traffic. The original 1917 structure is the northbound bridge. As of 2006, the bridge pair handles around 130,000 vehicles daily. The green structure, which is over 3,500 feet (1,067 m) long, carries traffic over three northbound lanes and three southbound lanes. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, as the Portland--Vancouver Highway Bridge.

4:23 A glimpse of the Space Needle through the Belltown section of Seattle
Belltown is the most densely populated neighborhood in Seattle, Washington, United States, located on the city's downtown waterfront on land that was artificially flattened as part of a regrading project. Formerly a low-rent, semi-industrial arts district, in recent decades it has transformed into a neighborhood of trendy restaurants, boutiques, nightclubs, and residential towers as well as warehouses and art galleries. The area is named after William Nathaniel Bell, on whose land claim the neighborhood was built.
In 2007, CNNMoney named Belltown the best place to retire in the Seattle metro area, calling it a walkable neighborhood with everything you need.
Belltown is home to the Art Institute of Seattle, Antioch University, Argosy University, the Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and RealNetworks Headquarters. It lies directly west of the Denny Triangle neighborhood, where online retailer Amazon is constructing three office towers to house its downtown headquarters, and where the Cornish College of the Arts is located.
10:40 Crossing Lake Washington Ship Canal
The Lake Washington Ship Canal, which runs through the city of Seattle, Washington, connects the fresh water body of Lake Washington with the salt water inland sea of Puget Sound. The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks accommodate the approximately 20-foot difference in water level between Lake Washington and the Sound. The Canal runs east/west, and connects Union Bay, Lake Union, the Montlake Cut, Portage Bay, the Fremont Cut, Salmon Bay, and Shilshole Bay, with the Sound, which empties into the Pacific Ocean.
12:50 Arriving Edmonds, Washington
Edmonds is a city in Snohomish County, Washington, United States, 11 miles (18 km) north of Seattle, Washington. Edmonds has a view of Puget Sound and both the Olympic Mountains and Cascade Range. The third most populous city in Snohomish County after Everett and Marysville, the population was 39,709 according to the 2010 census. Based on per capita income, one of the more reliable measures of affluence, Edmonds ranks 37th of 522 areas in the state of Washington to be ranked.
Edmonds is a port in the Washington State Ferries system. Currently, the only ferry from Edmonds is a run to Kingston, Washington; in the past, there have been much longer routes from Edmonds to Port Townsend, Washington
13:15 Leaving Edmonds, Washington
17:20 Arriving Everett, Washington
Everett is the county seat of and the largest city in Snohomish County, Washington, United States. Named for Everett Colby, son of founder Charles L. Colby, it lies 25 miles (40 km) north of Seattle. The city had a total population of 103,019 at the 2010 census, making it the 7th largest in the state and fifth-largest in the Puget Sound area. It received an All-America City Award in 2002.
Everett is home to the largest public marina on the west coast of the United States and is the western terminus of the western segment of U.S. Route 2. It is also home to Boeing's assembly plant for the 747, 767, 777 and the new 787. Boeing's Everett facility is known for being the largest building in the world by volume at 116.5 million cubic feet (3,300,000 m3).
In 1984, Everett was selected as the site of a U.S. Navy Homeport, Naval Station Everett. The Naval Station formally opened in 1992 and on January 8, 1997 welcomed the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln is no longer homeported in Everett as of Winter, 2011. The aircraft carrier, USS Nimitz (CVN-68) has replaced the Lincoln as Everett's homeported ship, as of March 9, 2012. Everett is also home to the Port of Everett, an international shipping port, that brings trade, commerce, jobs and recreational opportunities to the city.
In 2003, Xfinity Arena (then known as Everett Events Center), effectively opened Everett to tourism. The $83 million arena continues to host events, once exclusive to Seattle's KeyArena, to present day.

TOP 10 DON’TS WHEN CROSSING THE US AND CANADA BORDER
416-962-2623 / 1-866-760-2623
immigroup.com
TOP 10 DON’TS WHEN CROSSING THE US AND CANADA BORDER
1. SHUT UP! PART 1.DON’T TRY TO BE FUNNY.
Border guards are not your friends, and it’s highly unlikely that they moonlight as talent scouts for comedy clubs. This is the wrong moment to make a buddy or tell jokes. Stay respectful and succinct and save the complaints for the drive away from the checkpoint.
2. SHUT UP! PART 2. DON’T DISCLOSE MORE THAN YOU’RE ASKED.
Answer all of the guard’s questions, but avoid getting chatty about your plans if you don’t have to. Thinking of catching up on some work on your laptop a little during your vacation, for example? Don’t mention that. There is no such thing as an American working holiday visa, although there are plenty of options for working holidays in Canada, or for Canadians travelling to other parts of the world. If you’re going to the U.S, however, best to say that your laptop is just for fantasy sports and YouTube. Planning a trip to propose to your girlfriend? Congratulations. But...
3. EVEN YOUR SEX LIFE MATTERS.DON’T MENTION THAT YOU’RE PLANNING TO MARRY A CITIZEN OR RESIDENT OF ANOTHER COUNTRY WHEN YOU’RE ENTERING IT.
Even if you’re in the middle of the appropriate application process, talking about your romantic attachments will not warm the hearts of the border guards and it will get you flagged as a potential risk for illegal immigration. This goes for crossing the US and Canadian border in either direction. Say that you’re visiting “a friend” and save the flaunting of your ring for the day when you’re married or your citizenship and residency information is fully settled.
4. DEVELOP A “CREATIVE VOCABULARY.”DON’T BE IN A RUSH TO EXPLAIN EVERY DETAIL ABOUT THE GOODS YOU’RE BRINGING WITH YOU, BUT KNOW THE RISKS OF INCOMPLETE DISCLOSURE
It can be mighty tempting to try to bring a few extra items back from your trip without declaring them. You can push the limits of the personal exemption (see above for the exact amounts), or you can declare the extras and pay the duties. If you’re pushing it, try to describe dollar values using words like “approximately,” “about,” or “around” if you’re just above the personal exemption limits. Remove the tags, and ditch the shopping bags and receipts. If you are searched and the agents find something that you haven’t declared, it’s most likely that you’ll be delayed and that you’ll have to pay the duty. Hey, people forget the things they buy all the time, right? Mistakes can happen. If you push it too far, however, and you get caught making a false declaration crossing to Canada, you might also have your goods seized or you might have to pay a penalty that’s an extra 25-80% of the goods’ value. The worst case scenario is that you’ll lose the goods permanently and have your vehicle impounded. You’ll also almost certainly find yourself subject to more intense scrutiny at future crossings. Getting caught with small amounts over the limit shouldn’t have lasting repercussions, unless you’re busted repeatedly. Now you know the risks. Govern yourself accordingly. Bonus tip: Never try to conceal anything you just bought at the duty-free shop. They take your name and license plate number and their database is coordinated with the border guards on each side, so lying in this case makes for a guaranteed delay. Don’t do it.
5. A CRIMINAL MIND, IT’S ALL I’VE EVER KNOWN.DON’T LIE ABOUT YOUR CRIMINAL PAST.
If you have run into legal trouble, check to see if it’s serious enough to prevent you from travelling. Each country has its own regulations on this, and most countries reserve the right to deny anyone the right to entry for any reason. If you are denied entry crossing from Canada to US, consider applying for a US Entry Waiver. If you are worried you can’t enter Canada from the US, consider getting a temporary resident permit. The process rules and process for both the US Entry Waiver and the TRP can be complicated and difficult, so you can always seek help.

Very lucky the he agreed to meet up. Coming through Portland Oregon and thought I would get a quick video because who knows when I'll ever be back through here. I can't stand the slow speed limits in Oregon. 50mph on the Interstate is just ridiculous. They do have some cool buildings and architectural designs the really give the town a unique look. They have a couple really cool bridges the cross the Columbia River as well.

From Wikipedia:
Portland is a city located in the U.S. state of Oregon, near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. As of the 2010 Census, it had a population of 583,776,[7] estimated to have reached 587,865 in 2012 [7][8] making it the 29th most populous city in the United States. Portland is Oregon's most populous city, and the third most populous city in the Pacific Northwest region, after Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. Approximately 2,260,000 people live in the Portland metropolitan area (MSA),[9] the 23rd most populous MSA in the United States.[9]
Portland was incorporated in 1851 near the end of the Oregon Trail and is the county seat of Multnomah County. [10] The city has a commission-based government headed by a mayor and four other commissioners as well as Metro, a distinctive regional government. The city is noted for its superior land-use planning and investment in light rail.[11] Because of its public transportation networks and efficient land-use planning, Portland has been referred to as one of the most environmentally friendly, or green, cities in the world.[12]
Located in the Marine west coast climate region, Portland has a climate marked by both warm, dry summers and wet, cool-to-chilly winter days. This climate is ideal for growing roses. For more than a century, Portland has been known as the City of Roses,[13][14] with many rose gardens -- most prominently the International Rose Test Garden. The city is also known for its abundant outdoor activities, liberal political values, and beer and coffee enthusiasm. Portland is home to a collection of independent microbreweries, microdistilleries and food carts that contribute to the unofficial but widely utilized[citation needed] slogan Keep Portland Weird.

Welcome to the town split by the Canada/U.S. border
Beebe Plain is a town divided. The Canada/U.S. border runs down the middle of Canusa Street, putting one side of the village in Quebec, and the other in Vermont. Locals describe how the necessity of routinely crossing the border has changed over the years.
Washington State - Simply Amazing - YouTube
Yep. Washington State is amazing, the coast has Long Beach which is the world's longest beach and it can be driven on, beautiful rain forests, tidal estuaries, rugged mountains in the Cascades, fertile farm lands and rugged barren land that is looks as if time has forgotten to change and more fertile land loaded with orchards and vineyards.
I often say that every state in the US could be a country to itself and Washington is living proof.

Time Lapse - Sunday Drive from Vancouver, BC to Bellingham, Washington
June 5, 2016 - A lovely Sunday drive from the suburbs of Vancouver, BC to the nearby American city of Bellingham, WA. Many Canadians cross the border thanks to cheaper gas, food, and other shopping. While I partook in all these things while across the border, I also just wanted to get out for a relaxing drive (in a light-speed time lapse) on such a beautiful day.
A key point along the drive is the Peace Arch, where both Highway 99 and Interstate 5 meet their ends, and both the province of British Columbia and sate of Washington have placed a provincial and state park, respectively.
It wasn't a particularly busy morning, but I'm still loving that Nexus pass!
The 49th Parallel North acts as the entire land boundary between western Canada and the United States, from BC/Washington in the west to Manitoba/Minnesota in the east. It also bisects Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. A few miles down the road, in Ferndale, we are at the exact same latitude as the Eiffel Tower.
And last but not least for your viewing pleasure, Q*bert (sort of)!

Crossing the Border from US to Canada
Queenston-Lewiston Border Crossing.
Canada Border Crossing from USA on foot
Crossing the border from USA into Canada on foot across Rainbow Bridge.
To get to Canada from the USA, cross Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, New York USA into Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. To leave the United States of America, walk through a self locking metal turnstile gate without needing to show any id at this point, half way across the Rainbow Bridge there is a bronze plaque on the bridge fence indicating the United States / Canada International Boundary Line, this area is also notated with the Canadian flag flying next to the USA flag. To enter Canada after crossing the International Boundary Line you must show your passport to customs agents before entering the country of Canada, there is no fee for this process but when you want to cross the same bridge back into the USA there is a .50 cent fee.
Walking across Rainbow Bridge takes under10 minutes, the time to show your passport to the agent at the Canadian border and the agents at the USA when returning to The United States of America cannot be determined as the time varies based on how many border agents or people trying to enter the country at any given time.
There are excellent views of Niagara Falls from both the USA and Canada, but they are both very different, the view of the falls from Canada shows a more natural less built up look, where as the view of Niagara Falls from the USA shows more of a city built up look.

Welcome to Bellingham, Washington!
Bellingham Bay was named by Captain George Vancouver when he charted the waters of northwestern Washington state in 1792. The bay was named for Sir William Bellingham, the chief accountant of the British Navy who provided supplies to Vancouver for his explorations.
The inland sea was named Puget Sound for Lieutenant Peter Puget, who served under Vancouver. When the third lieutenant, Joseph Baker, sighted a large, snow-capped mountain, Vancouver promptly named it Mount Baker.
The original inhabitants of what is now Bellingham were the Lummi Indians who lived off the land harvesting fish, shellfish, plants, deer, and other game animals. Captain Vancouver found a community of about 3,000 people living there. Today’s Lummi, Semiahmoo, Nooksack, and other Coast Salish people are descendants of peoples who made a great trek over the land bridge that once connected Asia to North America as long as 12,000 years ago.
About 60 years after Vancouver’s voyage, Henry Roeder and Russell V. Peabody from San Francisco came in 1852 looking for lumber to supply their town’s growing demands. They asked the Lummi chief if he knew of a place where water fell all the time from a high hill. The chief led them to Whatcom Falls where they built a saw mill and produced lumber until it burned in 1873. Roeder and his wife, Elizabeth, became the first white settlers in Whatcom County. Their son, Victor, founded Bellingham National Bank and in 1903, built a stately Craftsman-style home that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was donated to the county in 1971 for use as a cultural and social center.Whatcom falls bellingham waWhatcom falls.
In 1856, Captain George E. Pickett was sent to the area with a company of infantry to protect settlers from the Haida Indians. He built Fort Bellingham, the town’s first bridge, and a wood-frame ho

Portland Oregon 205 Bridge to Vancouver sr14 Rain
Crossing into USA on America's ONLY Unguarded Border Road
So I decided to cross into the USA and enjoy the last unguarded American border crossing road before it is closed or worse! Just south of Hope, British Columbia, Canada is a road down the Skagit River Road Valley that leads to Ross Lake, Washington.
While there are random ATF and US Border checks, 99% of the time there is absolutely no control over the road that leads into the USA from Canada. There is just a sign (while I show in the video) and the clear cut areas of the trees on the 49th parallel.
This is the ONLY unguarded American border road left. There is another crossing in Minnesota near Lake of the Woods that has a telephone reporting system and cameras. This border crossing has nothing.
While you would have to walk down a hiking trail 30-35 miles to hook up with Stare Route 20 in Washington, it has obviously become the new smuggling route into and out of Canada for the hearty and rugged.
I doubt it will remain unguarded. Or it will be closed. Which is a shame as Ross Lake is a wilderness retreat of rare proportions. There are no services there. No cell phone service, no TV service, no stores, no nothing. Just people who want to enjoy the great outdoors until the US Border Patrol closes it....
