COVID test to enter BC en route to Alaska ?

Sorry if this has already been covered on one of the various threads dealing with the WA to AK transit through BC this summer.

I plan to depart Friday Harbor late next week and clear into Canada in Sidney. My understanding - please correct me if I am wrong - is that I need to have proof of COVID vaccination and a recent (within 72 hours) negative PCR test.

I had planned on getting the PCR test in Friday Harbor. It turns out that that is not possible. I have also hit a dead end at getting a PCR test in Anacortes. I am told by the couple of facilities that I spoke with that they do not conduct testing for traveling purposes.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Is the test required? Where is the nearest location to Anacortes that you know of that offers the test for travel reasons?

Thanks
