That is possible, especially if Vancouver finally gets on board with light rail and expands it across the river. I do like what the city has been doing with the riverfront development, I just don't think it is enough to become an attractive satellite city for a "Bellevue type" downtown without light rail.
Beaverton on the other hand already has a light rail connection, though the Westside could definitely use a few more rail lines. Plus the Westside is already well connected to a number of tech companies, something Beaverton should try to expand on by building up in their downtown.
