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

Rob: How do you take your bus from the Island to the mainland? What Ferry terminal. To Anacortes looks damn expensive.
To and from Mexico from Vancouver Island ( the last 11 years) we use the MV Coho between Port Angeles and Victoria. Down the 101 from Port Angeles puts you onto the I 5 south of Olympia which avoids a huge amount of I 5 traffic.
Cost is about the same or a little less than the BC Ferry route.
The Sidney-Anacourtes route used to have special fares for RVs sometimes, don't know if they still do. Haven't used it in decades as that route is less convienient for us.
These ferries don't have a lot of crossings; The Coho has only one in the winter, 2 spring and fall and three (from each side) in the summer.
