Easiest 4 ways I can think of as someone who works in aviation. Drive to Vancouver fly direct. Take the Coho or Clipper to Victoria then fly either YYJ-YVR-YHZ or YYJ-YYC-YHZ. Seattle has direct flights to Calgary you could connect there.

Air Canada flies Seattle to Toronto direct. From Toronto, you can fly into Halifax and drive 3.5-4 hours or fly Halifax to Sydney and drive 2 hours to Cabot. I've done both, but stopped in at Highland Links when I flew into Sydney. Drive from Highland Links to Cabot is very scenic, if you have good weather.

If you can get to Toronto direct, then Air Canada also has a direct flight from Toronto to Sydney. From there about a two hour drive to Cabot.
