Help identify cedar type and propagate info

There are two large cedars (I believe) located on the South side of W23rd Ave between Trafalgar and Valley - image attached.

1. What is the name of these trees?

2. I would like to grow a tree like this on my property just outside of Vancouver. How to I propagate this tree - is it possible to take a cutting or do I need to extract the seeds? Step-by-step instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

Not cedars (Cedrus, in the pine family Pinaceae) at all; they are something in the cypress family (Cupressaceae). Possibly Thuja plicata (Western Redcedar), but needs close-up pics of the foliage (and cones, if present) to be sure.

 

Thanks Michael.

Photo of foliage and cones is attached.

 

Thanks! That's Thuja plicata 'Zebrina'.

 

Thanks. Any suggestion on how to propagate?

 

Propagated by cuttings, though it's not the easiest of plants to do so - needs 'green fingers'.
