Need some advice... There are three routes, and they're all within minutes for driving time, and close for distance. Driving tomorrow, leaving 9ish

1. 101 to 5, Olympia, Tacoma, 18 to 90
2. Back to Portland, 82, 182, 395, 90
3. 20 to Longview, 5, 12,90

1 ton DRW, towing 41' 5th wheel, 16k loaded

any opinions out there?

Well my vote is for #2. The only real traffic will be the early part of I84 east of I205 until Troutdale, from there I84 moves well and you will have a strong tail wind.

My second choice would be I5 to SR 12, north of Yakama I82 climbs over three ridges getting to I90.

It all depends on how well you can maintain speed climbing on a two lane road.

I lived in the greater Olympia to Seattle area 25 years ago, traffic was bad then, and hasn’t gotten any better sucks from Olympia North!
