Route overview
Southeast from the Sound: I-90 over the Cascades and I-84 through Oregon and Idaho, then I-80 and I-25 toward Denver and US-287 down through the Texas Panhandle, with I-35 for the last stretch into Austin.
The weather risk sits in the first half: Snoqualmie Pass leaving Seattle and the high country of southern Wyoming. South of Denver, winter delays are less likely.
Austin has grown fast, and newer subdivisions on the edge of the city often have narrow streets and HOA truck rules. If that is your address, pick a nearby open lot as a backup meeting spot.
