Reply to TIL that Point Roberts, Washington is a pene-exclave of Washington just south of Vancouver, Canada. It is attached to Canada by land but separated from the USA. It can only be reached from the USA by sea, air, or by driving 25 miles through Canada and then into Point Roberts, crossing two borders. by IAmDavidGurney

I grew up 2 blocks from there in Tsawwassen. Before 911 you could just walk across the border with no repercussions most times. Beer was a lot cheaper in Point Bob. :)

Alex Mogilny lived there too when he played for the Canucks. I used to see him when I worked at the White Spot in Tsawwassen.
