Great, thanks all!  I have been thinking about taking a day trip up to Vancouver. I was not sure about the border crossing since we are still in a pandemic and of what to expect like travelling by myself for a day trip, if that would be a red flag because we are still in a pandemic, and taking the bus. The train service from Seattle is not up and running and Kenmore Air is not running service up to Vancouver and back. 

You know what's funny... I used go to Montreal and would take an overnight flight, usually over to Chicago and up to Montreal. At customs, I always wanted to tell the agent why I was there, but they never asked me anything.  They would just look at my declaration form and say merci followed by thank you, and that was it.  When I interacted with an agent at a land border or YVR on my way to Vancouver, sometimes it was like a Q&A session, and I am not much for more than 3 questions. I would think that the agents in Montreal would ask me questions, and the agents at the land border and YVR would not ask me more than 3 questions. 

@4petesake, did you have to show anything else besides your passport and vaccination card or use an app to go to the US?

So as a recap for myself to go to Vancouver and back to Seattle:

Canada:  ArriveCan app + passport or Enhanced ID

USA:  passport + vaccination card

Is that right?

For a Canadian going across I didn’t have to show anything other than passport. Returning to Canada if you have filled out your ArriveCan online you also don’t have to show anything as it is already linked.
 

Yes I am confident you have it right in your recap
