The price disparity is one of the Great Mysteries, but since you live around Seattle, by all means go for NEXUS. Worth it the first time you need to drive across the border on a busy summer weekend!
Okay thanks! I think I'll apply very soon for Nexus, then.

How much are you saving on your next trip by doing YVR? Unless there's a bus that goes from Seattle to YVR, bus/train seems like a major hassle.

What are your questions? Ask away.
