traveling from Pacific City, Oregon and want to visit the San Juan Islands. Is it crazy to pull a travel trailer thru the Seattle area? Thought about parking it in an area like Burlington and then taking day trips over to the island since we want to bike the islands. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input

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.

Put your trailer at Chehalis, La Conner or Mt. Vernon and use the TV to get to the port..check online for specials on the ferry..sent you a PM....Dennis

Park it in the Campground on highway 20, 1 mile from Anacortes "Faldago Bay Resort"

And remember, there is aircraft ferry service to the islands, at the airport.

Not crazy at all. I-5 north to Burlington np. I'd stay at Bayview State Park, site #3 or #4. Beautiful views of the water, great access to drive to the ferries for visiting the Islands.
