For the drive up to Mt Rainier, I'll suggest that "Sun Rise" the best destination.

So u concur about the San Juans...nice and quiet.
I took the ferry over there, it was a nice ride. Stayed a day or two. If lucky you can see the Orcas. Then ferried to Victoria another nice boat ride.
Once there I stayed at the Old English Inn..which is quaint as it is located in a residential district. The Sunday Brunch is to kill for...very good. Empress Hotel for high tea and finger sandwiches is a pleasant sojourn into a more relaxed time. They also have a dress code...no denim no shorts no flip flops. Then there is Fort Street with its antique shops and an auction house that I flew in especially for one of their auctions.
Once I even went up to Niemo crossed on the ferry to n Vancouver and headed up to Whistler...which during the summer is quiet, taking a drive up the highway from Whistler your lucky if you see another car every 20 minutes. But the scenery is like you are in heaven. I stopped got out and looked across a small lake with a farm on the other side where the clouds and glacial mountain were reflected in it...wow
