Assuming you're coming in on I 90, the must see's in Washington are the Grand Coulee Dam. You can dry camp right in town and watch the laser show in the evening. Id go to Chelan and take the boat ride up the lake and then go Winthrop and take Hwy 20 over the Cascades. Avoiding Seattle and its traffic like the plague, I'd continue on 20 to Whidbey Island and take the ferry to Port Townsend and visit Fort Flagler.
Lots of awesome stops along 101 that circles the Olympics. Hurricane Ridge, Salt Creek, Ruby Beach, HoH, Then I'd hug the coast and check out Cape Disappointment and if your interested in history, all the Lewis and Clark stops in the area. Take the bridge across the Columbia that ends in Astoria Ore and continue south on 101. Tons of lighthouses and beaches and make sure to stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory for a double scope of ice cream in a chocolate dipped waffle cone. And since you will be so close, make sure you drop into California and check out the Redwoods. They are awesome.
Out of Crescent City you can take 199 back into Oregon and over to Medford where you can pickup 140 that will take you to 97 North and check out Crater Lake. From there take Hw 26 over to John Day where you can check out the Fossil Beds and Kam Wah Chung Museum. That will get you close to I 84 where you can head home on I 80
