The One Place In Washington Where You Can Cross The Canadian Border With No Passport
Whether you’ve lived in Washington for a few months or a lifetime, you’ve probably figured out that it’s full of surprises. Not only does our local history have some fascinating, quirky, and disturbing tales, but we also have a town so remote, you can only access it by boat or by a long hike (we’re looking at you, Stehekin). Washington even has a park on the Canadian border that actually allows you to cross (briefly) without a passport.

If you've crossed into British Columbia on I-5, you've probably noticed it.

The space is devoted to peace and serenity, which is pretty wonderful.

It also happens to mark the border.

Stroll through the lush gardens, pass through the arch, and take lots of photos.

This seems like common sense, but it's still worth the reminder. We do not recommend testing this.

The park has picnic areas, and a boat launch. It's also home to the annual International Arts and Music Festival each June.
