Covid Testing

Entry into Canada requires either a rapid test (professional administered or observed) within 24h or a molecular test (NAAT or PCR) done with 72h.

Curative (Convention Center) is open 10am-6pm, has rapid molecular (NAAT) tests available on Friday which promises a 2h turnaround. Only that location, the others are PCR. Curative bills insurance, but insurance is technically not required to cover it if you say it’s for for travel
UW Medicine charges your insurance and you have to provide some reason (e.g., "possible exposure")
Kaiser Perm offers members free PCR testing, and explicitly says it it is free for travel proof purposes

Cars

Team Subaru( N+H+K): 1: departing Friday 2: picking Kurt up at Vancouver airport sat early 3: planning to ski sat
