Well, I-5 in southern western Washington was flooded last night the TV said.
Around Chehalis, between Olympia and the Columbia River. 
You'd be better off to go east on 90 out of Seattle, then southish. . 
I think I'd take that to Idaho Falls,  then straight south on this sweet
little remote two lane road, that drops right down to I-80.  The border town
there is JackPot, at the Idaho/Nevada border.  
That's probably your most direct interstate route, Seattle , then  I-90
eastward,  then down to 80, then east.  Battle Mountain, that's the Nevada
town you'd access 80 at. 
I love it out there !!    Been there lots in a turbo diesel vanagon.

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
