Driving from Seattle to Campbell River, BC

I want to drive from Seattle, WA to Campbell River, BC but I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone know if there's a direct drive from Seattle to BC (Vancouver area)?

Can I do a straight drive or would I need to go through a ferry crossing? If so, what is ferry cost for my car at the ferry crossing?
