The route
A common route runs I-64 and I-70 west to Denver, I-80 across Wyoming, then I-84 through Idaho and Oregon and I-90 or I-82 into Washington. Other trucks take I-90 across the northern states. The bike stays strapped in a closed trailer the whole way.
Seasonal notes
Puget Sound riding is best from about May to September, when the rain lets up. Winter storms in the Rockies and on Snoqualmie Pass can delay trucks, and the North Cascades Highway closes for winter. Summer PCS season is busy, so book as soon as you have orders.
Arriving in Seattle
Seattle-area deliveries include Capitol Hill, Ballard, and West Seattle, plus Bellevue, Everett, Tacoma, and Bremerton near Naval Base Kitsap. Ferries do not carry transport trucks easily, so island and peninsula deliveries need planning. Riders head for Chuckanut Drive, Mount Rainier, and the Cascade Loop.
