US 2 from Spokane to near Seattle
We've started our cross country trip from the UP of Michigan to Joint Base Lewis /McChord. As I write this we are in a park in Wisconsin along Rte 2. We're familiar with the trip from here to Glacie...

Make sure you know which gate to use and hours. Or go thru main gate when "truck" gate is closed. However main gate is a challenging obstacle course.
The McChord is a challenge, not the Fort Lewis gate.
There are two things to consider when traveling on Hwy 2, Seattle traffic is a ***** most of the time, so if you take Hwy 2 you may want to consider that, but it is a beautiful Hwy and worth the effort. (You can get off earlier and hook up with Hwy 18 can come in that way.) Another and in my opinion pretty road to take would be Hwy 12, you can pick it up in Missoula I believe. It will take you on the south side of Mt Rainier and then drop you down just below Olympia so you can come north to JBLM. Fort Lewis, McChord and Camp Murray all have RV parks. If your staying at the Fort Lewis RV park you will want to exit at the North Fort Lewis exit, If your staying at McChord, the Main Gate is really your only option but it is a little twisty.
