How long does it take to drive from seattle to Vancouver british Columbia?

Answer 1

It takes approximately 3.5 hours to drive from Seattle, Washington to the city of Vancouver in British Columbia. Obviously, border line ups and traffic become a factor in the travel time. However, without traffic and border line ups, the drive should take approximately 3.5 hours. Border line ups going into Canada tend to be shorter and vary depending on Canadian holidays, school vacations, and weekends. They can range from five minutes to an hour or more. Traffic through Seattle can sometimes be avoided using the express lanes and HOV lanes that enable cars with more than one passenger to pass by the daily commuters. However, traffic in Vancouver tends to move slowly regardless of HOV lanes; hence, allow for extra time to travel from the border to Vancouver if travelling between 6 AM and 11 AM or 4 PM and 7 PM.
