I agree. I was in Vancouver back in 2004, and made a special trip down to Seattle to do the touristy stuff. Went up the tower thing (kind of like a mod CN Tower, i forget the name) went to the public market and had a Starbucks coffee. Also ate at a restaurant that was used in the film Sleepless in Seattle (I think).
At any rate, I'll be in Vancouver again this month, and will try to sneak in a trip to Seattle.

I am currently sitting in a hotel room in Ottawa. (Les Suites) which is walking distance from everything. I'm sitting in here, because it's pouring rain. I drove from Toronto yesterday. Toronto is in the 12th day of a municipal workers (= garbage) strike, so it is nice to be in this cute, compact little city despite the rain. It took me 5 hours to drive here (401 - up past Brockville and then north on the Veterans Highway) because I stopped for a meal in Napanne.
I like Ottawa, it is very lush, green, and seems cosmopolitan. The only thing is the area by the Byward Market (the bus stops) seems very grungy, with lots of street people. More so than you would expect from a city this size. In fact, it reminds me of areas of Toronto (like Queen & Spadina, or Queen & Sherbourne)....
