Getting There
The Westfield Vancouver mall is located on Northeast Vancouver Mall Drive, which can be reached via the Westfield exit (number 30) off Washington highway 500. You can easily stop in on your way back from delivering livestock waterers to farms in the country if you're driving. If you don't have a car, a number of Vancouver transit or C-Tran buses stop at Westfield Vancouver. They include route numbers 4, 7, 32, 72, 76 and 80. The mall is open Monday to Saturday 10am to 9pm and Sunday 11am to 6pm, with closures for most holidays.
