How far is it from Seattle to Vancouver driving?

I’m planning to visit my family in Vancouver. It’s my first time going back since moving to Seattle, so I don’t really know what kind of ride to plan for. Exactly how long does it take to drive from Seattle to Vancouver?

Seattle and Vancouver may be in different countries, but they’re a lot closer than you might expect. In fact, it only takes about three hours to drive from Seattle to Vancouver. But before you set yourself for driving straight to your destination, consider making some stops along the way.
When you’re planning a
road trip
, one of the biggest rules is enjoying the journey. If you only focus on the destination, then the drive can become unbearable. Plus, the road from Seattle to Vancouver is full of beautiful scenery and majestic views.
Here are a few places you may want to see on the way to Vancouver:
  • Olympic National Park: One of Washington’s many treasured natural wonders, the Olympic national park is a rainforest residing in the continental US!
  • Chuckanut Drive: Known for its fiery saturated hues in the autumn, this state park features a beautiful 20-mile road that circumvents the Chuckanut Mountain.
  • Wenatchee wineries: Though not as widely revered as Napa or Sonoma, the Wenatchee region in Washington is known for producing wonderful wines with locally sourced grapes like Chardonnay and Riesling.
While you don’t need to stop along the way, making time to enjoy the trip is the best way to make your drive worthwhile. But if you don’t have time for a scening route, you should be able to make the drive in a few hours.
