I rode this today and I was quite disappointed. I rode up I-5 and caught the ferry no problem. Once I was on the island everything was going fine for the first 20 miles or so but then the wind slowly started to pick up more and more. Eventually it got so bad that I was blown off the road onto the shoulder and decided it wasn't worth crashing and turned around. If you go on this ride make sure you have a big hog or pick a non windy day. I am a very competent rider and have never been more scared on my bike in my life.

Good road, lots of traffic (don't these people ever go to work and stay there!). Optional is to cross on the ferry over to Port Townsend (actual Hwy.20) and take Hwy. 101 south to Olympia or west to Port Angeles.

Long highway, high traffic, not much scenery until Deception Pass, which is incredible. Not very exciting road, very windy after Deception Pass.

Took the ferry from Mukilteo, would reccomend waiting a bit for traffic to clear, the drive was nice but the lack of passing zones and 2 lanes only left me doing 35 MPH for the entire trip stuck behind some bluehairs in their R.V. nice scenery, but pick an off time to ride it.

I did this route today like Taso suggested (circling to 9 in sedro-woolley) and it was amazing! Though whidbey has wonderful scenery I almost enjoyed taking 9 from sedro down to 522 better. My 06' 636 tore those twisties to pieces.

I rode from Seattle up to Mukilteo today and did this ride. On the way back instead of backtracking, I followed 20 East until it met 9 in Sedro-Woolley, then took 9 South all the way down to 522 West back in to Seattle. Highly recommend this way. SR9 is a really nice ride. There were some nice twisties along the way, especially between Sedro-Woolley and Arlington.

Very nice ride. So much to see and so many side roads to explore, twisties included. One of the better routes from south west Washington up to Anacortes for the Oyster run.

I rode it on one fine sunny day. I loved the ride. There is a good variation of speed. Plenty of things to do along the way. We had a lunch at beautiful town Langley, then visited Fort Casey which have amazing views, then stopped at deception pass. There are 2-3 wineries as well along the way, but I didn't get time to visit those.

This is a nice leisurely ride through pretty countryside. Coastal farms and old military structures are liberally sprinkled along the route. The views at Deception Pass are stunning. Stop and pull off at either the north or south side and walk along the bridge to get the full effect.
The roads are in good condition, but traffic is rarely light.
Deception Pass is the single thing that bumps my rating up to a 4. If you aren't stopping there, the route is solid 3 (average).
