Think that I'd do US 2 going east (southern leg) as it gets you into the nicer part of the country and away from Everett first, rather than having to face the challenge of heading west and the traffic getting worse as you head west from Stephens Pass toward Monroe and eventually Everett. WA 20 (your northern leg) is enjoyable going either way and traffic isn't a big deal; take your time and have a good trip! Stop at Marblemount if you can and learn the history of the dams and Seattle Light and the landscaping in the community; and if they have a boat ride on one of the lakes take that too; it's fun!
I agree traffic wise, and also think that east on 2 has a better view of the river going down Tumwater Canyon, and the views heading west on 20 are better too...JMO
