Kitsilano and the rest of that area along Broadway seem interesting as well as the Peninsula. Some of Vancouver's suburbs seem to be developing along similar lines from what I've heard(Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond).

As a fellow Washingtonian, I can attest to the urbanity of the Orange Line Corridor in Arlington, although I am somewhat underwhelmed by it- it always felt very...unfinished? to me, whereas these photos and others show more of a complete city with land that has been used closer to it's maximum potential. Frankly, though, I find this open, airy model more to my aesthetic liking than, say, Manhattan. Just my two cents, not trying to start a density war here or anything

Great job, and I hope to make it out to the Pacific Northwest myself someday (for pleasure, not to visit dying relatives in a Vancouver hospital).
