I've made that round trip about 10 times.
1. Take I-70 from KC to Denver.
2. Denver to Cheyenne, WY. (WARNING: High cross winds year-round. Blowing snow in winter. Have food, water, blankets etc in case caught out in no-man's land. Serious, no joke.
3. Cheyenne to Ogden UT.
4. Ogden to Twin Falls, ID.
5. Twin Falls through Boise into Oregon.
6. Cut north at Hermiston/Umatilla, OR toward Richland, WA
7. Richland, WA to Yakima, WA
8. Yakima, WA to Seattle. Closely watch the Snoqualmie Pass reports for winter snow/closures.
If bad weather at the Snoqualmie Pass:
Don't turn off at Hermiston, Umatilla, OR. Stay westbound on I-84 into Portland, OR and the take I-5 north to Seattle. FLATTER ROUTE!!!!!
Hope this helps.
