Some high-performance or unique roads ideal for filming car commercials are:
Chuckanut Drive
Located south of Bellingham. This two-lane, hardtop road winds along the
edge of a cliff, over small bridges, and offers spectacular views of Puget
Sound and nearby islands to the west.
Hurricane Ridge Highway
This two-lane hardtop starts from Port Angeles and travels through mountain
tunnels before reaching the summit in the Olympic National Park. It offers
a breath-taking view of the Olympic Mountains with wildflowers from late
August through September. It is difficult to control traffic.
Logging Roads
There are webs of high dirt roads which run throughout western Washington
and are ideal for off-road vehicle filming. Access depends on road
maintenance.
Long Beach Peninsula
Located at the southwest tip of Washington, facing the Pacific Ocean.
This area has miles of hard-packed sand that can be used for vehicular
travel. Please note: some restrictions may apply, especially during the
summer months.
Mount Baker Highway
Located east of Bellingham. This curvy, winding highway has snow on higher
elevations through July and offers spectacular vistas. It's a good high
performance road.
Pacific Raceway
Located near Kent, 20 miles south of Seattle. It has a 2 1/4 mile, 9-turn
Grand Prix road course with 300 ft. elevation.
State Patrol Academy Track
Located in Shelton. It has a variety of "real" road-type curves,
straight-aways, hills, gravel roads, etc. It has a skid pan. It offers
great views of the Olympic Mountains and is surrounded by evergreens.
Roads and highways that appear to go off to infinity
There are a plethora of roads that appear to go off to infinity. One
example is the area along Highway 90, between Moses Lake and Spokane,
which is flat desert country. Also, Highway 26, east of Othello,
travels straight for many miles through barren country.
