Advice for bypassing Skagit River Bridge?
I'm heading down I-5 next week but will need to bypass the Skagit River Bridge area. Any advice on which route to take? What is Hwy 9 like for a nervous RV'er? Nui

Interesting in that they have decided that having people use the Fir Island bridge now isn't viable. That was what they were advising yesterday and I know that the Fir Island bridge isn't that great - we take that when going to LaConnor and even with no other traffic on the bridge I don't feel that comfortable coming across it.
To the OP, where in Washington are you going? If going to Seattle and points south, get off at Cook Road (there is an exit for it), go east on Cook Road until you get to the stop light at SR20 (you come around a corner), turn right at the stop light, get in the left lane and take a left onto SR 9 and follow it down to Snohomish, pick up US Highway 2 and take that west back to I-5. Don't go very fast, but SR 9 is often used by truckers going north. It is the road you get if you cross the border at Sumas.
