Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. It boasts towering mountains, pristine beaches and is just a 2 hour drive from Seattle (on a good day). I decided to do a road trip from Seattle to Vancouver but instead of 2 hours we took most of the day and stopped at over 23 spots along the way. We started at 8AM in Seattle and made our way down to Vancouver by 4PM the same day. It was a long day but definitely a fun experience and here is the full video. Let me know what we left off in the comments!

A joy to watch siblings enjoying a trip together! My 87 year old Mom loves your travels as she has done many of the trips in her younger days. She says your voice is very calming and easy to listen to. 😊 Love your travels with Pops too!

[@BeautyOnEarth]

To everyone who is reading this, you’re beautiful and an amazing person. Please exercise frequently and eat more fruits/veggies. I wish you all good health, great success, and everlasting happiness!!!!!!!!!

[@jennyc1846]

Here here...not enough fruit & veg in these shows...😅

[@Shahreer271192]

Please never stop making these videos, we all appreciate all the effort that goes into it.

[@wasabiginger6993]

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

[@bbhybris]

Wow, I loved this! I'm going to binge your videos. No annoying music, edits or palaver. Super chill to watch. Thank you!

[@thebrownguy79]

It’s so awesome to see my neck of the woods through the lens of a great YT creator! You even stopped by my old home town of Oak Harbor. Thank you for sharing this corner of the country to the whole world!

[@andycallister]

Your sister brings some comic relief to this episode. I love all of your content. Best wishes for 2023.😊

[@ThroughMyLens]

haha yea she was cracking jokes for sure 😂

[@Jeannified]

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

[@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.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for taking us along on your road trip Josh! And yeah…. We love the Capilano Suspension bridge too!

[@californiahiker9616]

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! ❤

[@phxgidget]

I love to see something different than what I see, living here in Phoenix Arizona. Your sister is delightful. As always thank you & keep 'em coming!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope to visit Phoenix in the future as well

[@LourdesGonzalez-gs8jj]

Awesome video Josh! 🙌👍👍🙌Thank you for taking us along from Seattle to Vancouver and I love that you are very family oriented. 🥹🥹Stay safe and looking forward to your next video! 🙏🙏😀😀

[@susan7775]

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.

[@SchnuffiJames]

Thank you for visiting Canada glad you had fun. As a home sick Canadian living abroad thanks. Come back.

[@chrism9130]

I enjoy watching your videos! Pops is my favorite travel partner of yours: he brings nice calm energy. Thanks for doing these travel vlogs!

[@snoodlebug1800]

Your sister is hysterical- please bring her back!

[@rhondaz356]

Josh, this was so informative, and enjoyable, as always. I love that you are such a "family oriented" person. Thank you both, for taking us along 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 👏🤗👏

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thank you so much for the kind comment, I was glad to get my sister to come on a video with me!

[@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..

[@harisrozak]

Your videos are my escape from the exhausting world, Thank you!!

[@keesdejong2940]

Love the sibling vibe! Very recognizable! 😀

[@ThroughMyLens]

haha it was fun to go on an adventure with my sister for sure!

[@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.

[@user-mo7zk1mn8v]

Love the sibling vibe! Very recognizable!

[@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 😍

[@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.

[@jen6202]

Hey Josh! Great video on Seattle! Very cool city! Your sister Amy is so funny! Love her!😂 Great job on the video! I love your channel!

[@michaelcrz1430]

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!

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Thank you Josh. This was a great trip, only you know how to deliver. I love watching your trips. Waiting for the next one.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@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!

[@raould2590]

Thanks so much for this ! Loved it! Looking forward to more videos! Safe travels!

[@sammychicken3457]

Thanks for this great episode. As a proud South Australian, the ferry ride to vancover was very appreciated. I've always wanted to visit both Seattle & canada. Kind regards to you & your family from Adelaide, South Australia.

[@jennyc1846]

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

[@elmertillogrande6893]

Great video as Always... But I am looking forward to seeing an Entire Family video with Mums, Pops and Amy Amy plus the ditto twins!!🤗

This meant A Lot to me~ my heart will always be there even if I am elsewhere. Thank you so much!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

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

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for watching it! So many great road trips to take it is hard to see them all haha!

[@MrHuntingsAdventures]

Agreed...Donuts are a must on any road trip

[@andreajohnson1796]

I always wanted to visit Seattle, it's so beautiful, Thanks Josh and sister cliff walk and tree adventure is awesome something I love to do

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for watching, it is a pretty epic area to explore

[@reneejones7807]

And my summer road trip for 2024 is taking shape! Another great video. Thanks!

[@kayleebeare]

Yay Josh thanks so much for this video!! My cousin and I are from Atlanta & we’re doing this in the fall. I can’t wait to use some of your ideas and stops! Thanks so much!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Have fun!

[@steve2709]

Recently discovered your channel through this video. Really enjoyed all your trips videos. It is therapeutic to watch your videos when I am stuck at home right now with a newborn baby during winter.

[@MrVectrexUK]

Thanks for making this - another superb travel-vlog and one that covers an area that is close to my heart: Seattle and the pacific northwest. I really hope to get back there again some day soon. Keep making great content!

[@ThroughMyLens]

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

[@ellensburgwa5087]

An awesome video as usual. I have always wanted to see the best spotson the way to Vancouver. Both cities have superb views. Another thing, your sister has added a different taste to the whole story. Thank you for taking us to those places.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed the video! We had a lot of fun making it!

[@kaileyselin8453]

This summer my family and I drove from Osoyoos, BC to Seattle and it was sure beautiful. My favourite part was the North Cascades. Hoping to visit Vancouver one day! I’m only 14 hours away across the border in Alberta so it can be done. 🏔

[@oursweethomelife]

Love your videos and have always wanted to visit Seattle! Thank you for taking us along!

[@rcrdo]

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

[@tommollison]

We live in Fairhaven and the Bellingham boardwalk is our daily walk. Love your videos and it’s fun to see you visiting our stomping grounds.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Such a beautiful city and a beautiful place for a daily walk!

[@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!

[@lebermcgooseloopswale6620]

Very well done; informative, fun, and thorough! From cascadia: Rock On!

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Great trip guys! Good to meet Amy and your wife is Amy too!❤️😀🚙🇺🇸🌏

[@timeenuf4200]

Ahh you made me homesick. Haven't been back for 15 years. Miss it lots.

[@ThroughMyLens]

It is such a beautiful area, I would love to spend more time there

[@pattiburke867]

This is my old stomping grounds. Love and miss it

[@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.

[@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 .

[@y2extreme217]

I love your videos they always make me smile and they warm the heart..🥰

[@ThroughMyLens]

Really appreciate that, thanks for the kind comment!

Aw, I loved this video. Your sister is a hoot. Love to see more with the two of you. How about an adventure with your wife and kids. LOVE IT!!!!!

[@ThroughMyLens]

That is a great idea! It would be a chaotic but fun road trip haha

[@AmitSingh-re4te]

Thank you for sharing the journey. Very good video.

[@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!

[@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!

Thanks for the tip!

Love it! I went to college in the PNW and would love to move back someday :) Really enjoyed your sister in this too!!

[@ThroughMyLens]

It is such an awesome area, a little too much rain for me though haha. Glad you enjoyed my sister!

[@itsnotme07]

Mmmmm...Dohnuts!!! LOL. Very cool you visited the Boeing factory! I had that on my list for my last Seattle trip, but ended up getting sick on the day of the tour...so I didn't go. Next trip for sure! Love me some ferry's!! Josh, sorry to say, but your sister Amy is correct...she's the cuter sibling. LOL Lots of great things on this short trip! Definintely need to add a Vancouver, BC stop on my next Seattle visit.

[@ThroughMyLens]

haha! Don't agree with her 😂 I am glad you share the love of doughnuts and ferries!

[@rickypuno538]

Very nice AMAZING video!!

[@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.

[@tankermike99]

You guys missed chuckanut drive. Otherwise it was a fun road trip. Another enjoyable video from your channel.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Will have to check that out next time! Thanks for the tip

[@cherylemaybury9967]

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

[@critters16]

Wonderful 😊 thank you

You're welcome 😊

"Hi, I'm the better looking sibling" LOL!!!! My biggest laugh of the day for sure!

[@barbarahansen626]

Wonderful video.

[@JodysJourney]

So fun to meet your sister. And I saw a couple of places Pops wouldn’t go. Haha.

Heyyyyy 👋 from Blaine Washington! I'm so glad you're enjoying this area too

Thanks for watching it! I want to explore more of Washington for sure.
