What’s the best driving route from Tucson to Seattle?

My wife and I are moving from Tucson to Seattle in a couple weeks and we’re trying to get a read on what the easiest path might be. We drive a 2018 Subaru Forester so mountain roads shouldn’t be too much of a problem. With this in mind, what’s the best driving route from Tucson to Seattle?

Congrats on the upcoming move! Hopefully you and your
Subaru Forester
will feel at home in Seattle right away. Your compact SUV (even filled with boxes) will indeed be much more capable of handling mountain driving than the average sedan, too.
That said, here’s the best driving route from
Tucson
to
Seattle
most drivers recommend:
Some drivers prefer avoiding the coast due to its congestion—especially around the SoCal area. In this case, you can use I-8 W/I-10 W to transfer to US routes and state highways through
Nevada
and
Oregon
, or Nevada,
Idaho
, and Oregon to come into Washington more from the East rather than the South.
Whichever path you choose, the total trip time generally comes to around 24 hours. Even if you’re both taking turns driving, you’ll want to break it up into at least two days to allow enough time for food and rest. Luckily, there are plenty of great places to stop along the way!
As you embark on your big move, you’ll want to make sure you and your Forester are well-protected—
