Hwy 2 from Spokane to Everett
Has anyone traveled from Spokane to Everett, Wa on Hwy 2. I'd rather not take I-90 if I can help it.

Beautiful drive, but slow and hilly
Ditto.. well in so far as once you get to Leavenworth anyway. It's a little bumpier, less maintained I guess I would call it. Just as boring as I90 till you get to Leavenworth - plan on spending a day there sightseeing in downtown, it's one of our top destination tour traps.
From there, Hwy2 is a very twisty 2-lane hwy, much slower than I-90. If you want bonus points on beautiful views and can afford to add a day to your trip, do Leavenworth, then turn around and head north via Twisp and Winthrop to Hwy 20 and take that across. They just opened it back up April 3rd (annual snow closure). It is nicknamed the Swiss Alps of the US. Short of taking Hwy410 through Mt Rainier Nat'l Park, I'd say it's the most scenic E-W route we've got.
