<div id="ygrps-yiv-528748628">In Van Zandt&#39;s book on the boundaries of the United States, he states (p.<br/>
155) that the northern boundary of the state of Washington is &quot;the<br/>
boundary line between the United States and the British Possessions.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
In the Fraser Valley near Vancouver, the border on the ground is around<br/>
1/4 mile north of the 49th parallel. <br/>

&gt; i read once that the north boundary of Washington is, in some places,<br/>
&gt; hundreds of feet south of the north boundary of the United States,<br/>
&gt; because they are defined by separate surveys.  sadly the article where i<br/>
&gt; saw this was on another subject entirely and contained no pointers to<br/>
