Washington and Oregon in the Winter?

I'm driving from California to Seattle (or possibly Vancouver) next week. Looks like all the parks (mt hood, ranier, etc) are all snowed out. Is there anything worth seeing along the way to Seattle that is 1) Not in Seattle or Portland 2) not on the coast and 3) not subject to snow and other driving conditions.

I do this drive frequently. Lake Shasta is a good resort. Unfortunately, the water level is at near record lows right now due to local conditions.

Oregon has some caverns that are suppose to be really cool. I haven't tried this yet.

Mostly, I'd concern yourself with getting here without much delay. There are 4 passes you need to concern yourself with. 3 of those passes are very close.... from Shasta through Grants Pass.

Dont to Oregon, windchill = 8 degrees + 20 mph winds

not anything I can think of. its freezing here.
