Want to visit another country during your stay? Just park and walk right on over into Canada and back. No passport required.

A dramatic white arch rises from the green lawns and flowering gardens on the U.S.-Canada border at Blaine. Some may not realize that the international Peace Arch they pass on Interstate 5 is the principle feature in an iconic Washington state historical park devoted to peace and serenity. Peace Arch is unique among parks because it consists of two parks in two countries. The southern half of the park and the monument itself is owned by Washington State Parks and the northern half, by British Columbia Provincial Parks. The 67-foot concrete arch, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was constructed to honor the centennial of the treaties resulting from the War of 1812. These agreements between the U.S. and Britain established a peaceful, undefended border between the U.S. and Canada.

This stunning park is beautiful itself, featuring elaborate flower gardens, sculptures and meticulously maintained grounds. It also has water views and is one of the only “international zones” where Canadians and US residents can both meet with each other and enjoy time together without either side needing to go through Customs & Immigration.
