Default hah, I'd love to hear the responses to this as well

some people like Chuckanut drive, but that's pretty far north.

there's a nice drive out near fall city, but it's hardly twisty. Mostly nice scenery.

My favorite drive is the Sea to Sky up in Vancouver, but that can be a little scary when the conditions are crappy or when you don't know the road well.

Default There are many down that way but if you're willing to drive a bit try the North Cascades Hgwy from

Sedro Wooley to Rainy and Washington passes. Another great road is the Mt Baker Hgwy from hgwy 9 up to the summit.
Both are best early in the am before traffic and traffic 'management' show up
Any of the roads up into Rainier Park are pretty good as well . . again early in the am is best.

Default a few...

depends how 'near' you need..
In City: Island Crest Way on Mercer Island; goes around the island, but is all residential so be careful!

In Vicinity:
-Hwy. 9 from Arlington to Sedro Woolley
-Whidbey Island from Clinton dock to Anacortes;
and, as previously posted, North Cascades (US 20) and Mt. Rainier are awesome, but questionable in winter. Also: Mt. St. Helens loop (don't miss the East side), Olympic Nat'l Park area (Hurricane Ridge)

I second the Mt. St. Helens loop, that's a fantastic run in good weather
