We can pass for Seattle, why not?

Vancouver is a master at passing as other cities. In the upcoming X-Men movie we’re playing at least San Fran, as I saw the SFPD cars while walking past their shooting on Burrard by the Paramount Theatres.
In The Cleaner [mbv], we are playing Seattle, which seems a more natural fit. There were SPD cars lined up outside the Bayshore this evening as I was coming home.
So Seattle [mbs], we’re so your stunt double.
Seattle based Dead Like Me was also filmed in Vancouver. I knew this, but it was made really obvious when a SkyTrain went by in one of the scenes.
I think as Matt noted on the site the best use of Vancouver was X-Files, because over the years that they filmed here it stood in for such a wide variety of places across America, while to Vancouverites remaining so amazingly Vancouver.
