Probably the best way to get to Vancouver Island from Seattle is to drive up there and take the ferry across to Vancouver Island. If you do drive, that is an excellent alternative. However if you aren't a driver there is a train that can take you there instead and you can get on a ferry and take it over. I know that the Victoria Clipper makes runs to Victoria BC then you can take the ferry over to the island as well. But that can be a bit pricey especially during peak times.
