If the bike is in Vancouver, BC, it could be advertised in the Seattle Craigslist. Just note the location as BC to manage expectations. Someone came up from Seattle to Anacortes to get my AWOL and that's not nearly as nice a bike as a Betty. It would have been as easy for them to go to Bellingham. If someone were interested, you could also offer to meet part way to save them having to cross the border to either reduce their travel or in case they don't have a passport.
