On your way to the Olympics (which I highly recommend)you can always go to the Overland Expo in Washington.

If traveling east to west and then north here are some of my favorites.

Torquerville Falls, Utah (nice easy drive with cool water crossings and ends at an epic waterfall) - adds maybe 3-4 hours

Sand Hallow, Utah (its famous, like a jr Moab) - you could spend two weeks here

Logandale Trails, NV (they call it mini Moab) - you could run most trails in 2-3 days

Little Finland, NV (cool rock formation, not hard on the 4x4) - maybe 3 hours to drive in, have lunch and drive out

Rocky Gap Road, NV (badge of honor trail, semi difficult depending on skill and any spotter skill too) - I’d plan 6-8 hours just to be safe

Jean Dry Lake Bed, NV (where they race the mint 400, nice trails around) - area is wide open, lots to see or not depending on interest level

Albeit, this isn’t the most direct route.

In 2003 I made this trip by motorcycle.
Having seen Olympia National Park
and the Washington coast on a previous car trip,
which is certainly a worthwhile choice,
I opted this time to ride from Spokane
down to the Columbia River and followed it to Astoria
and down the Pacific Coast Highway to LA
making a huge loop of the western half of the U.S.
Ride report can be found here, Hell Bent for Leather.

You can't go wrong. Have a good trip.

Assuming you head up the Olympic Peninsula on 101, highly recommend you take the ferry from Port Townsend to Whidbey Island. At that point you can pick up SR 20 and take the North Cascades highway east. It's spectacular that time of year and the east side of the mountains will provide a dramatic contrast with the peninsula.

It's so so so beautiful on the Olympic peninsula. Check out Hurricane Ridge, the Sol-Duc hot-springs and the most essential stop is Cape Flaherty, the northwesternmost point of the contiguous US.
