Lived in Seattle 1982 - 2001 so revisiting aspects of the PNW was lots of fun … thanks for a great little adventure!

Great video!!! Love both of those cities!!!

[@James-mo5lh]

Your videos are spectacular. You let people see alot of places they may not get to see otherwise. Some people don't have the time, money or maybe in poor health that keeps them from traveling. Keep up the good work. Everyone be good to each other.

[@kismetfast4674]

We drove from Bellingham to Vancouver yesterday too! Rainy day! Your Dad would enjoy Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver. Free suspension bridge and not as high up but coastal temperate rainforest...pretty waterfalls and a nice walk through the woods!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for the tip! I will have to check that out next time! I think any suspension bridge is too high for pops haha

[@kismetfast4674]

I'm scared of heights too so if I can do it Pops can!

In 2006 a terrible windstorm that blew down hundreds of trees in Stanley Park, it was heartbreaking to see the aftermath. New trees were planted, the sea wall and road were repaired. I love Vancouver, there are so many beautiful parks and gardens. Ten years or so ago we visited Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden, well worth the visit. And, of course Queen Elizabeth Park.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

New road trip added to the bucket list! Great video as always!

Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada. We drove 3x in a year to Vancouver coming from Sacramento. Too many to see and do in Vancouver. Plus the road heading to Vancouver from California is an adventure itself. Riding the Ferry from Port Angeles Washington to Victoria BC to Vancouver was awesome experience.

[@ThroughMyLens]

I will have to take that ferry, sounds awesome!

Hi Josh! Happy to meet another one of your family members,so cool! Glad to see you visit my neck of the woods. My husband and I moved from California to North of Seattle a year ago, after having lived in CA for decades. I love Whidbey Island! When the sun is shining you can get great photos of the shadow of the bridge on water at Deception Pass . Hands down my favorite place in Vancouver is Stanley Park. I could spend hours walking the gardens and take photos. Fall is my fave time in the park. Thanks for exploring and your recommendations in Bellingham.. I’ll have to go there soon. Don’t miss Chuckanut Drive next time! Happy Travels! Hope to see you again in these videos, Amy! ❤

[@rcrdo]

Ferries are the best! I live in Seattle and never get tired of riding them.

[@SparklyStoner360]

I’m from San Diego but have lived on Whidbey Island, about 6-7 min south of the Deception Pass bridge, for the last 14 months. Videos like this remind me how lucky I am to be living in this magical place 😍

[@bobdurna3588]

Enjoyed this one…love the PNC. Lived in Coupeville back in the late 50’s and we used to go over to Fort Casey frequently. On the waterfront there was a restaurant called the Knead and Feed that changed hands and its name a couple of years ago…also if you get back there hit Tobey’s for a beer. My sister had a home a couple of miles east of Deception Pass on the water … thanks for sharing and bringing back some great memories..

[@timothyosborn1697]

Ft.Casey State Park is where "An Officer and A Gentleman" was filmed. Beautiful area. Also. I worked in the Everett plant for two years on the 747s as a Manufacturing Engineer and loved every minute of it. Too bad my wife hated the rain. Oh well.

[@davidmarshall718]

I visited Ft Casey in 1972 when I was a teen living in Vancouver. Never knew about the famous movie filmed there. The 2 guns there were relics salvaged in the 1960's from similar and long abandoned U.S. forts built in the Phillippines near the famous Fort Corregidor, the last major U.S. Military bastion to fall to the Japanese in the dark and tragic days of early 1942. They are similar to many coast artillery guns of that era and are extremely rare and historic WWII artifacts, another big fort was at the entrance to the Columbia River near Portland, Oregon.

[@pattiburke867]

This is my old stomping grounds. Love and miss it

And cheers to you from WA Sammy (my daughters name😊)

[@stay_puft]

Vancouver and Seattle are twins separated at birth. Whenever I visit Seattle it feels like a second home.

[@deirdre108]

We feel the same way about our Vancouver and BC friends.

[@SMorrisRose]

Similar vibes, but Seattle is marred by having I5 rammed right through the downtown. Vancouver narrowly dodged that bullet about 50 years ago.

[@Dizzy206]

That's how I feel whenever I go to Vancouver. I do think Vancouver has better architecture and city structure, but Seattle will always be home.

[@ChrisAV8]

Josh: Thank you so much for your channel. So glad I found it. Especially loved this episode since my wife and I live in Coupeville on Whidbey Island. You give me great vacation ideas. Keep it up!

[@steveschwartz6138]

Cool trip. I took my kids to Vancouver and Capilano a few years back. It was a great experience. They had a cool raptor experience and trout hatchery . Stanley park was cool with the lighthouses, mermaid statue at low tide and canon that fires towards Vancouver at 8 PM. Watching the Harbor Air seaplanes take off and land was unique too.

[@AerialEscape]

I come from a large family. 10 total brothers and sisters. I'm the youngest but my next oldest sibling is my sister who's three years older than I am. IF I were to travel with any of my siblings, it would be with her.. I love that you two are famming up and hitting the road together!

Its nice to see your sister. Hope there will be future videos with her and your grandma too. Regards.

[@patriciahilbish3982]

I’m sure some has already said this, but it is NOT Pike’s Place Market. It is Pike Place Market. No ‘S’ after Pike. It immediately labels you a tourist. Picky I know, but it’s so iconic for Seattle we like folks to get it right. It would be like saying Eiffel’s Tower or Empire’s State Building.

[@emmawebb6955]

👋👋 It's great scenery footage & and it's awesome to see you sharing time with your sister. Normally, your vlogs are with your dad, which is also fun to see. 👍👍 I no longer have my brother, so it was enjoyable seeing your vlog .

[@IMP3TIGO]

Awesome to see you up in Seattle again! The other side of the Museum of Flight (across the big road) is better than the indoor part, it's outdoors with a roof and has actual aircraft that you can go inside, including an Air Force One/Two and a supersonic Concorde.

[@patrickbertlein4626]

Deception Pass has tons of parking, you just have to pay for most of it. You can either park right after the bridge and pay ten bucks or get a year pass, or you can do the same and park by the water. Its also not "along the way". Its a day trip in itself if you go there you aren't making a pit stop.

[@anthonysimone6249]

Josh? I'm watching the Bar Harbour video with your dad. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you should never leave your dad alone. It's dangerous out there on those rocky trails. He could get lost or hurt. You know the dangers of u.s. parks, with missing people, etc. you must stay together to protect him. There are bad people everywhere. i hate to watch when you leave him alone I worry about him through the video. He's such a great father. Please stay together. I am a retired cop.

[@realtymatters]

A nice urban road trip. Yes, the ferry with car ride for sure is still the cheapest way from Seatle to Vancouver and not crowded at all. Looks like the price has not been up too much from 30 years ago!!! (Surprised!). I will go back to Vancouver Chinatown for the best Chinese food outside of Hong Kong. Love Stanley Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge. Thanks for your fabulous videos always!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed it! I agree, PNW is such a special place

[@ArwinTours]

That was very cool. I miss the Pacific Northwest.

[@bridgetoconnor7229]

It looks like the incredible views - minus the delays and food issues - are definitely worth paying the money and being in small spaces for a long time. I think i would take the gamble and hope any delays wouldn't be nearly so bad. One thought though- ear plugs are needed on long train rides! Your videos are always great! Looking forward to the next one! God bless!!

[@wanderlust62]

Suspension bridge, I'd be between Pop and your sister. I would definitely cross, but she would have to reach the other side before I took a half a step on, hahaha! Great to see you two on a trip, I love the wonderful fun competition between all three of you!

This was a fun trip for me. I love Vancouver and Vancouver island. Have been many times but my last trip was in 2016. As an older Aussie it’s unlikely that I will be able to make the trip again now as health is bad. I enjoy seeing it again though.

[@ThroughMyLens]

I am glad it brought back good memories and I am sorry to hear you health is failing! I haven't spent any time in Vancouver Island but I would love to do that in the future

[@TheParadigmShiftTV]

Instead of paying the outrageously high ticket price for Capilano suspension bridge, I recommend Lynn Canyon suspension bridge which is about 15 mins away and free.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Good question! I should make a video on that in the future. I often use Yelp and places like Atlas Obscura for suggestions on spots just to name a few

Josh, I was looking forward to the drive down Whidbey Island but didn’t see much. I was born and raised on Whidbey, you drove past many historical and beautiful sites. I now live in San Diego area. Do take your family camping along the great PNW. You will need about two weeks to do it right. The Olympic Peninsula is outstanding as well. The North Cascade Loop. So much to see. The Flintstone car, just makes me laugh. That is in Oak Harbor. How did you hear about the Flintstone car? Keep the fun adventures coming. Where are we going next?

[@ThroughMyLens]

Yea, I would have loved to have spent the whole day on the island as we passed way to many spots I wanted to see but just limited on time. Sounds like I need to spend a whole month in Seattle with the other tips you suggested as well! I just randomly saw "Flintstone Park" in Google Maps so thought I should stop by haha
