East west leaves you in the mountains for a long while with poor RF coverage if you are not hitting mountain tops. The rest stops along I-90 east of the pass are not bad. Lion Rock north of Ellensburg is easy to drive up though. Maybe the scenic viewpoints on I-82 south of Yakima.
Ocean grids are always fun to me. Los of blank spots but a more engaging drive with more rare® grids to cover.

The east-west I-90 route CN87-CN97-and-beyond is a scenic drive from Seattle but has mountainous dead spots.
I bet you’d enjoy the drive east from Ocean Shores CN76 and CN77, Aberdeen CN86, Olympia CN87, and then around the grid corner past Carbonado toward Mt Rainier. All this is available in a standard sedan. See https://coilgun.info/rover-wa/home-map.htm for where the grid lines lie on the map.
Be aware that most of this route is away from the high-scoring metro centers. You’ll want to publicize this in advance for home stations, esp from Portland, to be looking for you. A real boost would be to bring APRS to help folks track your progress in real time.
Good luck and have fun!
