For food, if you want to get it sooner than later, I would drop in to Fred Meyers in Bellingham. Easy access, enough space in one area for RVs and cheap gas. Have never had problems parking our 29' TT and truck there. It's the exit heading left (east) where the exit on the right is to the Bellingham airport. FM is pretty good on prices. Just never, ever buy food and gas at the border because they like to gouge Canadians that don't know any better.
Ever since Bill Gates moved to Seattle, the traffic has gotten really bad. When we have our TT behind us, we go 405. I think I-5 can be "sorta" okay at certain times of the day. Seems to start getting a lot busier just south of Everett.
If you aren't in a real rush, taking the ferry over to Port Townsend from Whidbey Island and then driving down the west side of Puget Sound is nice. Get back onto I-5 near Olympia or head over to the coast from there. The ferry might not be much slower anyway compared to going through Seattle and it's definitely more relaxing.
ps: I lived in Victoria and Saanich for 20 years and miss it a lot.
