It is strongly reccommended that you go to the border and clear customs by yourself before trying to hitch a ride, because asking drivers to take you across poses a much higher risk for them. It is not hard to get there by public transport. From the skytrain station Bridgeport, take bus number 351 to White Rock Centre (the bus route goes along the Vancouver-Blaine Hwy, so if you really hate walking, you can get off at Mathew Exchange or South Surrey Park & Ride and try to hitch a ride to the border). From White Rock, take bus C51 to Marine Dr/Stevens St. Cross the street and turn left. You will see a wooden walking bridge on your right side. Cross it, ignoring the No Trespassing sign (it existis because you are entering an Indian Reservation, but the people there are generally not at all fussed about it). Turn left when you get to the paved road, and simply keep going (when in doubt, the sea should be on your right side). The road will lead you straight to the border. From where you exit the bus to the border is about a 3km walk. After you've gone through, there is a little roundabout right next to the toll station where you can easily hitch a ride South.(The toll station man wouldn't let me hitch on that roundabout. He told me I had to be out of his sight. So I walked down highway 5 to look for a spot. the cars were going too fast and no pull over space. Blaine is not a very good place for trying to get south. if you keep walking highway 5 for like 100 meters, you'll see a Subway down on your right. And a Chevron gas station, that's where I went and asked people if they were driving south, not long till I got a ride to Everett. From there I took $2.50 public bus to downtown Seattle.)
