2 potholes when you exit the south terminal at yvr... not big enough to damage your car but better to avoide it if you can

Arbutus heading North just before King Edward there are a ton of potholes in the left land. I drove as close to the median as possible to miss all of the potholes.

Also on University Blvd (4th) there are a lot of potholes.

Heading east on Blundell in Richmond (I forgot which section. I think its before no. 5 road close the right hand side); my entire front wheel dipped into it. I hope there's not damage to the wheel or the tire.

In Surrey, if you're on 140th between 88th and 85th there's honestly a gauntlet of potholes

Heading South on Nanaimo Street from Nanaimo Station to Kingsway, stay out of the left lane. 2 nasty potholes about 50 feet from each other.

Surrey: heading east on 72nd, right on, slightly after Scottroad intersection, left lane, 2 massive unavoidable potholes. Stay in right lane until you pass the lights!

My route to work has no potholes whatsoever, quite happy about that my routes to other places aren't so great though..
