How far is Seattle to Vancouver driving?

I live in Seattle, but I’m hankering for some flapjacks, maple syrup, seriously expensive real estate, and for everyone around me to say “eh”—how far is Seattle to Vancouver driving?

So you need your dose of Canadiana, we see? Well, lucky for you, it’s just a short 2 hour and 40-minute drive north from Seattle to Vancouver, British Columbia, 143 miles along I-5 and BC-99.
Once you hit Vancouver, you’ll find plenty more to do than just stuffing yourself full of pancakes and maple syrup (not to mention hearing more “eh’s” and “aboots” than you ever imagined).
  • Visit beautiful Stanley Park: a beautiful urban park with a winding seawall perfect for walking, running, biking, rollerblading, and walking your dog.
  • Tip-toe onto the Capilano Suspension Bridge: Do you like heights? If you do, take a walk across this treetop suspension bridge for gorgeous views.
  • Granville Island Public Market: Gorge yourself on delicious, fresh seafood, produce, meats, cheeses, and other delectables at this fantastic indoor public market.
While it is true that Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities to live in on the continent, it is also considered one of the world’s most livable cities, not to mention one of the planet’s greenest as well. So if you like it up there enjoying Vancouver’s mountains, saltwater, fresh air, and the occasional palm tree (yes, it’s true), you could always come back—it’s not far from Seattle!
