But in my experience WA20 from the freeway through Sedro-Woolley (about 7 miles) feels just as congested. Often I like to bypass that by leaving the freeway at Arlington, and taking 530 through Darrington. That stretch by itself is scenic and worth the drive. Or in the right vehicle, exit to Granite Falls and take the Mountain Loop Hwy to Darrington - with 15 miles of gravel forest service road!
US2 Leavenworth to Wenatchee is also pretty busy, though about half is divided.
WA20 is more remote. The 70 miles Marblemount to Mazama has no gas.
I hate WA -2.. I have seen it take 11 hours from Gold Bar to I-5, week end traffic is horrible. One crash and you are bottle up for hours.
There are 3 ways to access WA-20 from the east, I-5 to Cook Rd, to WA-20 .. I-5 to WA-20 in Burlington.
And I-5 thru WA-520 to Rockport.
all are easy routes.
Burlington to Sedro-Wooley is mostly city streets past Junction of 9. then it will open to country.
