I would say take the straight route, but I don't think that will get you there. Hey, how about taking the high road?

But any suggestions for my trip would be greatly appreciated.

But seriously, I would suggest you take I90 out of Wyoming up toward Missoula, MT. Great scenary and if you drink coffee, this is a great place to warm up for the Seattle area.
Take US 93 North toward Kalispell. Somewhat barren area during the winter, but you will pass through a couple of wildlife refuges including the National Bison Range, up around Flathead Lake, where I understand the fishing is supposed to be excellent.
Whitefish is a nice little town where it seemed like every shop and restaurant had a resident dog, and a nice little
brewery (as if I wouldn't know where they are). Just to the North is Big Mountain, large ski area, and North of that is Glacier National Park.
If you need to head West, drop back down the Flathead and pick-up 220 to the I90 toward Coeur D Alene and Spokane and across WA to Seatte.
If you have a spare 4-5 days and a passport, you may want to consider continuing North on US 93 out of Whitefish and head to Banff. This is some of the most beautiful section of the Rockies I have ever seen. If you have ever seen the movie, Last of the Dogmen, this is where much of it was shot. Lots of "hot springs" along this route. Take CA 1 West and drop down through Surrey and into WA and Seattle
