Hi Zippibye,
This is one for GroundURMast. He's the western Washington guru. I can see him perhaps giving you a two antenna suggestion.
I know of people in Vancouver proper have built systems that receive Seattle stations semi-reliably. Much of it in this situation and being outside of deep fringe is your location. The people who've grabbed Seattle signals in the lower mainland have had that clear shot towards Seattle. If you can get that, you may get lucky.
One of negatives in the transition to digital over-the-air TV is that unlike analog which slowly fades to oblivion with distance, digital is there or it isn't. A semi-snowy Seattle you'd have received 15 years ago may not even decode in the digital world: not enough signal. At least analog would provide picture albeit snowily.
I'm interested to hear his recommendation in this situation.
In my system experience, the weakest I've been able to grab is about 7db of field strength. Your situation will need things working to your advantage the TV fool map doesn't account for.
Cheers.
