Thanks to all of you for the great ideas and suggestions. My current route, after reading your advice, is taking us west from Glacier via US 2 to Coulee Dam (great suggestion!) and then back north-west via WA 20, taking the ferry as suggested to Port Townsend, and then around the peninsula and down to Ranier. I've currently allowed 12 days for all of this, but I may cut off some of the pre-Glacier leg(s) of the trip in order to give us a few more days in Washington. After WA it's down through the Portland area (friends and family) to Lassen Volcanic NP, and then we'll have to head back east again. (Last year, we couldn't get to Lassen because of the fires, and spent some extra time in Idaho instead. If that happens again (and I sure HOPE not!), we'll use the time to go to the Astoria, OR coastal area before heading home.) Overall, an 8 week (plus a few extra days) trip. Our longest yet-- I am psyched!
Thanks again for all your help!
