Enjoy your cross-country trip!
Below is the best route from
Florida
to
Washington state
:
  • Get on I-4 E
  • Take Florida’s Turnpike, I-75 N, I-24 W, I-57 N, and I-90 W to SD-34 W in North Lawrence
  • Get on I-90 W/US-212 W/US-87 N in Crow Agency
  • Follow I-90 W to Grant County
  • Take Exit 151 from I-90 W
  • Follow White Trail Road (WA-28 W) and US-2 W to Winton Rd in Chelan County
The total trip will be about 3,062 miles without detours, for a total driving time of 46 hours under typical traffic conditions.
Since this is a multi-day drive, we’ve also included some tips to help you prepare for your trip.
  • Stay well rested — Split your trip into segments, such as by state, to give yourself time to explore and rest.
  • Pack water and snacks — Some parts of your trip will be quite a long drive before you reach a stop.
  • Book your car in for maintenance — Check your car to see if it needs tuning up and fill up any fluids and gas before leaving.
  • Look up gas stations and rest stops — Prepare for any emergency and unscheduled stops.
  • Prepare your favorite tunes — The most memorable trips are usually the ones where you can jam out to the best tracks.
