US 2 from Spokane to near Seattle
We've started our cross country trip from the UP of Michigan to Joint Base Lewis /McChord. As I write this we are in a park in Wisconsin along Rte 2. We're familiar with the trip from here to Glacie...

Your headline and write-up make it sound like you plan to take US2 all the way. If that is your objective do not take I-90 across the State as a couple of folks have suggested. Contrary to other's opinions, US2 is one of my favorite routes east to west across Washington. Goes through small towns and farm country. It's a beautiful drive, especially as you get closer to the mountains. I-90 does too, but then it's an Interstate and you won't experience the countryside.
US2 is 2 lane most of the way. Timing west of the Cascades is everything: avoid coming west from the Gold Bar to Everett on Sunday afternoon and during weekday rush hours (approx 2-6pm). Once you hit Everett and get on I-5 south you're on your own. Never know what you'll get: could be smooth or it could be a parking lot.
