Driving from surrey bc thru pacific highway border crossing to usa
The Pacific Highway Border Crossing connects the towns of Blaine, Washington and Surrey, British Columbia on the Canada–United States border. It is located on the Pacific Highway which runs from San Diego, California to Vancouver, British Columbia. What started as a dirt road alternative route to the Peace Arch Border Crossing in 1913, the Pacific Highway soon became the preferred route when it was paved in 1923. It is now one of the five busiest commercial border crossings on the US-Canada border.

History
When this crossing opened in 1913, Canada border inspectors operated out of tents until proper offices could be constructed. Officers resided in a gabled wooden building until a new border station, built in a Tudor-revival style, was completed in 1935. Canada built its current facility in 1986.
The US operated out of large industrial building until a brick Georgian-revival border station was built in 1936. This station was used until the current facility was built in 1987.
