Experience the Excitement of FIFA World Cup 2026TM in Washington’s Vancouver
Are you planning a trip to Washington state for one of Seattle’s six FIFA World Cup 2026TM games in June and July 2026? Consider a visit to Vancouver, Washington while you are in the area to explore a Pacific Northwest gem that has yet to be fully discovered.
Wait…there’s a Vancouver in Washington?
Yes! The United States’ Vancouver was actually incorporated about 30 years before Vancouver B.C. in Canada. We are located on the north shore of the Columbia River, just a bridge away from Portland, Oregon and a 10-minute drive from the Portland International Airport (PDX).
Why add Vancouver to my Washington itinerary?
Easy to get to: Reachable by...
- Car – Interstate 5
- Train – Amtrak: 7 routes per day between Vancouver and Seattle (3 hours, $27-$90 one-way)
- Plane – Just 10 minutes away from PDX
No crowds and a scenic, stress-free environment
- You rarely have to fight for a parking spot, make dinner reservations, or wait in lines.
- While Vancouver is the fourth largest city in Washington, it is still described as “friendly” and “welcoming” by residents and visitors alike.
Walkable to main attractions
- The waterfront, Historic Reserve, and downtown Vancouver are all within one mile of one another.
- Find unique restaurants, quality “Brewcouver” beer, and wine from premier regional vineyards.
A Fan Zone Experience
Vancouver was selected as one of nine official Fan Zones around the state to support the excitement and enthusiasm that FIFA World Cup 2026TM will inevitably bring to local soccer fans and visiting fútbol devotees.
