The Lynden–Aldergrove Border Crossing connects the town of Lynden, Washington with the Aldergrove, British Columbia. Canada has had a Customs office at this crossing since 1889, when it was operated out of the Vannatta home.[1] The Customs office was moved to the border in 1910.[2] CBSA continues to operate out of a small 437 square foot facility that was built in 1972.
For many years, the US operated a small brick border station at this crossing. The current 16,421 square foot facility was built by the General Services Administration in 1986. Lynden is a station of the Sumas Port of Entry.
