    Best driving roads North Seattle area

    Been struggling with this since I finished my 66 Mustang last year. Now with the M3 I am looking for some more spirited driving roads that I can carve through in he early hours of the morning. Currently I am just in the back roads of the Snohomish area but looking for some much longer drives in less populated areas.

    Thinking the canyons of cali here.

    Thanks

    Check out motorcycle web sites.

    How far are you willing to travel?
    Not so much a signature as a cry for help.

    Hold on, saw this in a cartoon once...think I can pull it off.

    Most scenic roads suck on weekends. If Whatcom is an option, Mt. Baker Hwy (route 542), the approach up the mountain at Silver Fir Campground is one of my favourites. Weekdays are best.

    Also in Whatcom is the South Pass Rd. (between the Goodwin & Frost roads) and the North Pass Rd. The N. Pass is shorter but with a hairpin curve.

    As far as it takes. I have most Mondays off and the kids are in school and the wife is at work. 8 hours of freedom.

    Some of my favorites close around here (can you tell I live on the east side? lol):
    Ben Howard Road
    Highbridge Road
    West Snoqualmie Valley Road
    Ames Lake Road
    Tolt Hill Road
    Issaquah Fall City Road (east from Duthie Hill MTB park all the way to Fall City...comes out next to Fall City Elementary)
    East/West Mercer Way (Mercer Island...lots of bikes and strict cops though...so this is a more leisurely 30MPH drive through the twisties on the east side of the island)

    Chuckanut is ok, but the odds of getting a clean run are very low.

    Chuckanut has been more enforced recently. The only time I'll drive it is after 1am these days.
