What are your interests? How much time do you expect to spend in route?
I would assume you would want to spend time in Yellowstone. A day at Mt Saint Helen's could be interesting. Checking out the Puget Sound Navy Yard and eating dinner at the Space Needle in Seattle might be fun. Ridding on our huge Washington State Ferries would be enjoyable for someone from the mid-west since they are like large ships with restaurants, but a sight seeing ride is something like $10.
Once up in BC, you could take the BC ferry over to Vancouver Island, and drive up the coast. That could be a trip you might really enjoy since it is so primitive.
Ackkkk What is so primitive on Vancouver Island?? Our wigwams are open for business as soon as the igloos melt and the ice flows recede! How dare you! Most of the 7-11's are open from 9 until 5 if snow conditions allow parking too!
Compared to our bumper to bumper traffic and wall to wall houses, you guys live in a form of heaven. Years ago we cruised in our boat up the outside up to Ucluelet, stopping at Port Renfrew on the way. It was an exciting and wonderful trip. Having a US power boat cruise out in the open ocean was so unusual that the RCMP boat checked us out, probably to rule out drug running. They were very polite. We also stayed several times at Nanaimo before crossing over to Powell River. That is also a very nice town with wonderful people.
