Going to CA was a cautionary excursion. The officer asked many questions including ones you'd…read moreexpect, like if you have family there or if you're bringing drugs or weapons, as well as surprising ones, like how much money you have in your bank account. I answered everything honestly, and after what felt like forever (prob really just 5 mins), she finally let me through. It's understandable that the interrogation may be intended to make you feel like you're being treated like a criminal. It's for the safety of two nations. Thankfully they didn't put me through a deeper investigation. I was nervous, but I made it. Returning back to WA as a US citizen is a simpler matter. The only issue I encountered on my return trip was the unexplained traffic backup. We all sat in our motionless cars for about 20-30min, clueless why border patrol didn't seem to be processing people through. Finally, the lines start moving again and we made it back to USA. As symbolized by the Peace Arch, may CA and the US remain in peace for decades to come.

The Agents were suspect at first but really cool after I told them what happened. They asked the necessary questions, gave some directions and I was on my way. Not the typical time, circumstances or experience entering a country but it was the easiest and quickest border crossing I've had to date. Now, what led to me getting there, that's another topic not for this post. LOL. Thanks fellas

I'm sure it's not very often but there's literally only 1 car ahead of me at this crossing!…read more So thankful the wait is not crazy long like at Peace Arch-Blaine crossing. The officer was super friendly and polite. He knew it was my first time crossing here and that I usually crossed at Blaine. He said now I know the secret about this crossing when I said I was surprised there was only 1 car before me. This is a great place to cross if you're just heading into Bellingham as the road at the crossing is Guide Meridian, the same road which will take you into the heart of Bellingham.
