Going through the border is never easy.  Doing this while also attending a MLB baseball game makes it that more challenging,

In the next two weeks, I will write a guide for travelers going from the Border to Washington State (via White Rock B.C.) – to also going to a multitude of parks from 2 different crossing (via Ontario: Sarnia or Niagara Falls).

As a Canadian myself, I have pulled off these maneuvers dozens of time.  There is an art to it.

Today we are going to talk about heading down to Seattle.
