Yes, it's true, it's possible. And I did it!
My flight from Europe arrived at Portland, Oregon, where I rented a car for a week-long tour of the two most north-western USA States, Oregon and Washington, plus British Columbia, in Canada.
After having visited the Olympic National Park (another World Heritage site, to be posted later), in the northern part of Washington, I took a ferry from Port Angeles (which means the Spanish have been there and named the place accordingly) to Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. The transfer takes about one and a half hours, through the Stait of Juan de Fuca (once again the Spanish have been there, no doubt).
On the ferry you have plenty of time for snacks and drinks, but if you are a landscapes lover like me you will for sure keep yourself outdoors (may be not if you do it in December...) to see the USA islands to the interior of the Strait and - especially - to enjoy the magnificent views of the Olympic National Park, which become superb once you are in the middle if the crossing. The attached picture was taken from the shore in the Victoria side, wiht the Olympic still in the distance.
For the return back to USA I took three days later the more classic land highway from Vancouver to Seattle.
