We’ve always found British Columbia to be an alluring destination: The beautiful province is conveniently close to Seattle and offers an opportunity to use our passports when we’re feeling the itch. Perhaps most importantly, Canada happens to be home to some of the nicest people on the planet. (And right now, for obvious reasons, many of us feel an urge to migrate north more than ever before.)

A mere two hours from Seattle there is a village tucked inside of another town tucked inside of a country that is not our own. It’s called Steveston, British Columbia and it sits inside Richmond — otherwise known as Vancouver’s dim sum-dappled little sister.
