Best route from Lubbock, TX to Shelton, WA

There is no way in the world would I go all the way to LA and up I 5 to get to WA !! If you go that way to avoid bad weather that might not even happen going the most direct way what are you going to do when you get to the mountains of N Cal. and Oregon and the weather is bad ? Lubbock to Amarillo, TX to Limon, CO , Denver, CO, Cheyenne, WY Salt Lake City, Boise, ID I 84 into Oregon and then look at the map to destination. I have driven to Wash and Oregon in Dec. Jan. Feb. March plenty of times without hitting any snow or bad weather. Then again it might snow and if it does wait it out, I mean your going to add on a few days going into California so whats the difference ?
