The big trucks pull through Seattle all the time,so it can be done, but there really are only two expressways, and the term "express" does not fit. Traffic is always pretty heavy, and often at a 5-lane standstill.
Any plan which avoids the RV through downtown or around on the 405 is a better plan.
We use I-5 north and south the traffic is horrible week days, but take your time, it's doable. weekends are a lot better. unless there is a game down town.

once north of Exit 206, you are home free. there is a very nice rest area a mile north of exit 206 to use to calm your nerves, before the 1 hour trip to Anacortes.
The 1 camp ground that I forgot is the new one at the Swinomish Indian Res. on highway 20, (4 miles east of Anacortes.) and the cheapest gas/diesel in the area.
