How would you get from Victoria to Seattle?

There are so many Seattle-to-Vancouver options I am wondering if Victoria is as easy.

Both harder and easier, in different ways...

There's one new option, convenient, and very likely a popular option for cruisers (ferry, downtown to downtown, but NB: passenger only no vehicles - http://www.clippervacations.com/clipper-ferry/).

Plane is almost a wash - YYJ has 'regular plane' service to SEA but a bit further from downtown than YVR. Floatplanes are easier though, since there's actually scheduled service Victoria-Seattle through http://www.kenmoreair.com

OTOH, train/bus now also involve having to take a boat or plane from Victoria to the mainland first (i.e. all previous options remain, but plus an extra time/expense/hassle factor of going via Vancouver).

Rental car you would have the choice of WA State Ferries/Black Ball to a WA port, or BC Ferries to Tsawassen, then driving to Seattle.

Thanks so much. Looks like the best options involve a boat - not surprising given how much water there is in the area!

My personal choice wold be to fly, but that is me.:)

Are there direct Victoria-to-Seattle flights? Although for such a relatively short distance, it seems like overkill.

Yes, both regular plane and floatplane would be direct. They're so close it would be ludicrous to have service with a layover - even floatplanes, not renowned for their speed, take only 45mins takeoff to landing...

Sure, several per day, two kinds:

- Scheduled seaplane service from the Victoria Inner Harbour to Lake Union in central Seattle. http://www.kenmoreair.com/

- Scheduled airport-to-airport service (Alaska and Delta)

Thanks to everyone for the information!
