For some reason it made a difference to Customs in Ketchikan whether or not I had been ashore in Canada while passing through. It took six days to transit through, but he only questioned whether or not I had been ashore...
I did stop in Alert Bay for beer, so of course Visa cut off my card for suspicious activity by the time I had hit Ketchikan :-)
Checking through Friday Harbor going North was a phone call, no visit from the inspectors.
