WA - Spokane to Everett US2 or I90?
I have a grand adventure coming up next month, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to cross the State of Washington. I'll be towing my 20ft Sportsmen Classic. I have picked Everett as a stop ...

I live half way between Seattle and Everett. Last time I drove to Spokane (to pick up a puppy), I took I90 over the Cascades (Saturday morning), cross over to US2 at George/Dry Falls and camped at Fort Spokane. The return was via I90 to George, then switched to US2 via Quincy. It was a Sunday afternoon/evening but in April so I didn't hit much weekend traffic (ski or camping).
I like the scenery on US2 over the Cascades better. Once I'm on the eastern flats it doesn't matter which. But if I were in a rush, I'd stick with I90, unless traffic considerations strongly argue the other way.
Are you camping? Everett isn't that great of option for an over night stop.
If you are heading for the border, you might want to skip the whole Seattle/Everett area. For example you could cross the Cascades on WA20, crossing from US2 via Grand Coulee Dam. Or you could cross into Canada on US97, and take BC3 across the Cascades to Hope. Or continue north on BC97 is northern BC is your destination.
