You might check into the Green Tortiose Bus, I know they use to run between SF and Seattle but they might have expanded www.greentortoise.net Good Luck

Getting fares online is pretty simple.

http://www.greyhound.com/ for the bus.

http://www.expedia.com/default.asp for flights.

Note that while the bus might be cheaper it might cost more due to the food consumed during the trip.

Assuming the best you are looking at 20 hours on the bus. The plane trip will be three hours.

Southwest or Alaskan Airlines from LAX to Portland should be fairly inexpensive. Vancouver, WA is just across the river from Portland.

JetBlue also has good fares. You would be leaving from Long Beach Airport instead of LAX, so the airport will be a lot smaller and less complicated.

@VohuManah thank you that is by far the cheapest =)

Rideshare on craigslist has people looking for riders to split driving and gas cost or vice versa. They usually list where they are traveling from and where they are going or you can post your trip and people going that way contact you. A step above hitchhiking because you can research who you are riding with first.
