Extend Your Seattle Stay for FIFA World Cup 2026TM in Washington’s Vancouver

Are you planning a trip to Washington state for one of Seattle’s six FIFA World Cup 2026TM games in June and July 2026? Consider a visit to Vancouver, Washington while you are in the area to explore a Pacific Northwest gem that has yet to be fully discovered.

Wait…there’s a Vancouver in Washington?

Yes! The United States’ Vancouver was actually incorporated about 30 years before Vancouver B.C. in Canada. We are located on the north shore of the Columbia River, just a bridge away from Portland, Oregon and a 10-minute drive from the Portland International Airport (PDX).
