Rochester WA to Aberdeen via hwy 12?

How is this road with a large fiver? It looks like a nice shortcut to avoid Olympia. Thanks!
  • Perfect. Used by logging trucks and semi's all the time. Fuel at the Rochester Lucky Eagle Casino (located on the highway on south side before Rochester) is some of the cheapest around.

    Major shortcut going north on I5 to Aberdeen and the beaches.
  • It's a rather twisty road. When you're on it just remember it is better than the alternatives!

    I live south of this hwy about 25 miles. I have driven it over 500 times since 1991. For the life of me I can't remember it being twisty!

    Please advise where the twisties are so I can watch for them the next trip!

    Have a safe Independence Day!

    Well that's what I get for posting ahead of thinking. I was mixing US-12 up with SR-4 further south, towards Astoria.

    My mistake.
