RedEye,
I'm going to Portland for the Parade, too... and though I don't live up there now, I did a while ago and I'll recommend this: From Portland, cross the Columbia River and take I-5 to Longview, (or take hwy 30 from Portland to Astoria, then cross the river there and take 101 north) then take Hwy 4 to 101 north along the western side of the Olympic peninsula, around the tip and into Port Angeles - from there you can contiue east across the Hood canal, and then take a ferry into Seattle, or from Port Angeles, you can take the ferry to Victoria on Vancouver Island. The ride along the coast of the Olympic is simply amazing. I'm planning on something like this after the parade myself.
