I know I won&#8217;t want to stop in the Seattle area with the rig, so I decided to jump on this opportunity to go see a bit more of this beautiful city!<\/p>\n<p>To get there, I decided to take back roads to explore a bit more of the Washington coast. I set off from home around 8:30, went into Bellingham to run a few errands, and then asked the GPS to take me to Seattle the long way around.<\/p>\n<p>The route took me through downtown Bellingham and down a beautiful stretch of highway that used to be connected to the Pacific Coast Highway that still exists near Los Angeles. We then entered a stretch of farmland and small towns where every other house was a gorgeous Queen Anne Victorian.<\/p>\n<p>Entering Anacortes, there were a lot of signs for ferries, but I ignored them until I got this little niggly feeling. The following conversation with myself ensued:<\/p>\n<p>-You set the GPS to avoid ferries, right?<\/p>\n<p>-Probably. And I checked the route ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p>-Check it again.<\/p>\n<p>-Road, road, road, freeway, arrival. No, that&#8217;s FRY. Not freeway. FERRY!<\/p>\n<p>I pulled over and reset the GPS to take me to Seattle by land only! I wasn&#8217;t really that far out of my way, thank goodness.<\/p>\n<p>Approaching Everett, the GPS led me onto I-5 for a bit and that&#8217;s where I decided to stick to the interstate, not wanting to spend an hour navigating city traffic and also to make sure I knew what lanes to be in with Miranda when I drive through there on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11285\" style=\"width:
