I usually don't cross over on weekends because its usually busy but I had nothing to do today so I went across just for the hell of it. One thing I noticed is at peace arch, they have 2 nexus lines going to the states and only 5 regular lines. That made for a quick 2 minute line up for nexus and 45 for everyone else. I ended up going to Bellingham Costco just to check it out to see what's on sale. Goodyear wiper blades were 5 bucks each for any size, which is a steal, usual price is 8. The amount of people in Costco was insane, I expected the cashier line to be long but it wasn't. On my way back I usually cross back at pacific border but I had to get gas for my dad so I stopped in Blaine by peace arch and filled up some jerry cans. The estimated time was 1 hour to cross back at peace arch instead of 20 at pacific border crossing. I went to peace arch and they only had one nexus lane entering Canada, it took all 2 minutes to get over in the nexus lane.

Another thing, just before the pacific border crossing exit they have a place for emergency cars to make u turns. State patrol was just chilling there with his radar gun. I saw him both times today, so slow down. The limit is 70mph which is already pretty quick.
