I worked out a way to get from Vancouver to Seattle for $4.50--all on local bus service (plus a ferry if it's on a Saturday, since the Mt Vernon-Everett bus doesn't run, lulz). Takes 11 hours and 12 transfers, though.
I haven't yet; I do plan to try someday, because it would be fun. (I have a strange, somewhat masochistic sense of fun, but.)
With the exception of the border, every transfer is direct; i.e. it happens right at the same location, no walking needed. There's a TransLink bus which goes to 8th Ave and King George Highway, about 2km from the border, and there's a WTA bus which picks you up in Blaine right on the other side. Basically, you get a nice walk through Peace Arch Park, and you have an hour and a half to walk 2km through the park and clear the pedestrian customs.
(I miss Boston. :( )

On Saturday, you can still get to Mount Vernon without doing the Whidbey thing, via CT201/202, CT240, IT411C.
