OK, so tentatively, I will be planning this trip for 5/28 through 5/30, though the second and 3rd days are totally optional.

First day would be Everett area to Winthrop, hopefully via Route 20 (Stevens Pass will work if 20 is still closed). Second day would be a tour around the Columbia River, perhaps to Republic and Lake Roosevelt, ferry across to switchbacks and Grand Coulee dam. Tons of scenic Grand Canyon type vistas out there. Third day would be to return home (if anyone is left, lol).

I'm doing this as 3 days for myself so I can get a room this time at Sun Mountain Lodge. Other hotels such as Hotel Rio Vista (which is right next to river) and Rivers Edge Resort (also right next to river) have a policy of 2 day minimum stay. Other hotels there aren't quite so picky, so you should be able to find one that will let you stay one night if that's all you want to do.

Let me know if the 28th, at the very least, works for you all.
