I live in Seattle and I'm planning on visiting Vancouver in about a week or so. I was wondering if the shops and hotels and everything accept the US dollar. Anyone know? Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about Vancover WA, or Vancover BC? If you are going up to Canada, it will be no problem for you to go to a US bank and exchange your money for Canadian dollars. There are few places in Canada that will accept the US dollar. Or you can also exchange your money into Canadian dollars in the USA a couple of days before you leave, or you can purchase travellers checks, which are accepted just about everywhere.

Sorry, I did mean to mention that it's Vancouver BC. I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to exchange any money and just pay with the money I've got. Or at least use my credit or debit card. Maybe I should play it safe and just exchange some. Thanks for the answer!
