I've driven the coast from Monterrey, CA to Eureka, CA. And from Florence, OR to Astoria, OR.
If you are entirely avoiding I-5, two days is not enough time to get from SF to Bellingham. Even without traffic or getting stuck behind an RV, you won't be able to navigate that road at a sufficient speed to make the trip in 2 days.

SF to Eureka via coast hwy will take an easy 8 hours.
Following LWJ's advice will get you to Bend in another 8 hours.
Then head north to Leavenworth WA - via LWJ's route except I'd continue over Blewett Pass to Hwy 2. Then head to I-5 and north to Bellingham.

I think that's a doable drive, but will take about 25 hours of driving time. In my younger years, this would be a 2 day drive. Now, I'd do it in 3.
