Washington DC alternative routes?
We are looking at 2 routes around DC to avoid the beltline and 75 as much as possible. We will be arriving at Cherry Hill from Williamsburg, VA. Would it work if we took 3/33 to 17 to 301/3 to 50/...

The Beltway dangers are a myth. After all how bad can you wreak when you are going 10 mph. :)
Seriously, It's not as bad as people make it sounds. I use it all the time, both with my POV and with my MH towing a dinghy. Unfortunately, there is no magic route that allows you to avoid traffic. Yes, people do fly along, but stay to the right and you will survive. People do it all of the time.
Degree of difficulty is dependent on your arrival time at Cherry Hill. Your departure trip will be no problem since it would be after morning rush hour.
Using the routes you described makes the trip arduous and long.
I agree to this times-1000.
I also tow through this area regularly- I pick my speed and stay to the right or the lane just beside of it if 4 lanes. Easy peasy.
