Years ago, your odds would be great. These days I don't think I'd try it.
Were you born in King County? If so, you can just go downtown and get a new b/c. Otherwise, call the Customs folks and see what they say.
But I know SS card and DL are not considered proof of citizenship.

If I had to, I would grab some utility bills that show your name and address, a voter registration card, the SS card, and anything else I could find. Then hope you get a friendly border agent.

Actually, the worst that can happen is Canada lets you in but the USA doesn't let you come back.

Funny. I went there last winter with a passport and a drivers license. I guess nowadays they want a license, a passport AND a birth certificate. They let me through, but after a good half hour of BS and questioning in the "special guy" room. (to get into Canada from WA I should add).
