How's it look to you locals? Any comments?
Oh, I have twelve days to make this trip. This has it routed at 3600 miles.
I was going to be rolling in to Eureka FROM the east. Then continuing north.Oh, where to begin. Why I-90 and Seattle? You'll miss the Columbia River Gorge. Why are you turning east at Eureka? Continuing a bit south and you'll ride through the Avenue of the Giants.

I'm not from the area, but I've done some riding there and would concur with the other guys on taking in the North Cascades Highway, and the Columbia River Gorge. Here's a couple of shots of the latter:

I would also suggest coming inland and taking in the mountains like Rainier and St Helens.
I like Seattle and think it's worth a visit. If you have time, you might want to hop a ferry over to the Olympic Peninsula.
It is a beautiful part of the world, I think you're going to have fun.
Hell, even a boring old freeway like I-90 is a pretty ride.
Here's a vid my wife took of a nice road called Windy Ridge that runs up the back of Mt St Helens:
Towards the end, you can still see the devastation that occurred even decades after the eruption.
For some reason the video looks very shaky on Youtube. Just imagine it's buffeting.
