Fun winding roads around the Seattle area?

The title is pretty self-explanatory. What are some enjoyable routes around the area? I'm bored of W Lake Sammamish Pkwy, Issaquah-Renton, and E Lake Sammamish Pkwy (its pavement is bad too).

I would like to know the same! I often drive Union Hill Rd, between Redmond and Ames Lake Rd, but often there are slow cars and bicycles to look out for.

The Seattle area is a great place to live but i'm often jealous of places like SoCal where there are miles upon miles of mountain carving roads and sunny dry weather year-round.

Only car enthusiasts would care about these types of things lol.

I'll look into it, but based on what I'm seeing on Google Maps it doesn't seem that windy. Seems like most of the good roads are quite the drive.

Chuckanut Drive is pretty fun. Not quite "Seattle" area though. Sucks if you get stuck behind someone slow...

Chuckanut drive is great, as in N Cascades. They're a bit away, though exponentially prettier drives. I like the Fall City Loop, around Snoqualmie. Did it just last weekend. If you go in the morning, you can usually get a nice run through it. Be careful though, I always come across deer/bear/etc.

The roads near Mt. Rainier are lots of fun.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm back in town but I'm only free on weekends and the weather is crap this time of year. Will probably have to hold off for my next visit in the summer.

Could you specify the route for Fall City loop?

I was at Snoqualmie falls over the summer and came home via 202 --> Issaquah Fall City Rd. It was a pretty good route but short.

It's finally completely dry and sunny out! Hand washed the Bimmer and applied tire polish the other day. Detailed the inside. It's ready to rock baby
