WA20 from I5 through Burlington and Sedro-Woolley is also slow. If we are worrying about traffic, how about the shopping district in Monroe? There are good reasons for taking WA20, but avoiding Spokane traffic is way down my list.
How about taking WA231 north from US2 to Fort Spokane. Camp there and explore the fort/boarding school. Then continue north and east to Loon Lake, followed by some county road over to US2? I've taken Flowery Trail Rd (FS2902) from Chewelah to Usk (WA20). It is FS road, but nicely paved since it is the access road to 49-something ski area.
My favorite Spokane-bypass is crossing over Lake Roosevelt twice by ferry (new Keller ferry and Inchilium-Gilford). But that requires some lesser roads (still paved).
