i drove on cherry valley road in Duvall this past summer. do go there. nice drive

yeah, you are right. it's actually residential area. a lot of people hanging out with their dogs when i was driving the other night.

found another good place, interlaken blvd. in capitol hill. narrow, curvy, but kinda short. drove there last night. no cop. i recommend driving slowly first and get familiar. so dark at night and a lot of very sharp turns.

yeah, interlaken is sweet. i drive that all the time. late at night, when dogwalkers are all home, it's a great place to blast around a bit. you can see headlights a couple of turns away, and i've never seen the fuzz in there ever. a lot of the corners are blind both directions, so i like up more than down. since most turns are rights on the way up, you can really hug in the inside curb hard.

watch out for cyclists during the day. they ride two abreast and are generally going much slower than most of us are driving when the fuzz aint looking.

East Mercer kicks ass...
But you run the risk of the Mercer Islanders getting mad and cops of course... It's a fun loop though.

hell yeah. tried it yesterday at night. best place around seattle

Chuckanut and Olympic Pen, by Kalaloch Lodge

Mary's Peak. I love that road.

There needs to be a cruise up the hill sometime before the weather goes shitty.

i'm too lazy to search this whole thread to see if this has been posted before, but this book covers it all.

http://washington.destinationhighways.com/

(and there's one for bc and nor cal too. thought there was one for oregon, but i guess not)

roads are rated in several different ways. very helpful info.

and aside from the suggested drives, just getting to and from some of these will show you some cool shit. i got this book back when i used to have motorcycles, but it's been great for road biking and of course, cars too.

Old Germantown Rd!!!

Old Germantown Road is pretty fun, but the turns are a little more tight than Germantown Road, and there are houses on Old Germantown whereas there are non (not many) on that part of Germantown that this road bypasses. Pretty good uphill sections though. Best when used going from the Beaverton area out towards the St. Johns area.

Isn't Cornelius a major road? and less than 1/4 mile south of it on 30 is McNamee rd which from google earth, looks awesome.

McNamee A.K.A McGnarly my friends and i used to londboard down this road!! its crazy!
