San Francisco to Seattle

[cyclepro]

I am being transferred to the PNW and my time line to get there is between mid May and end July of this year. I am really hesitant to have the boat trucked up; mainly because I don’t want to miss the experience to sail there but also to avoid going through the trouble of preparing the boat for an over-the-road transport. I have sufficient time to sail there and I wonder whether anyone on this board has done this passage.
I am looking at either going all the way to Hawaii, leave the boat there for one month and then sail her up to Seattle or, go far enough offshore to be able to cross over without motoring too much. I don’t like the idea of going up straight along the coast since that will probably involve a lot of motoring (and fog).
I am looking at the pros and cons of both options. For the Hawaii option I’d like to know if there would be slips available (max. 1 month) and how far north I’d have to go to catch the favorable NW winds.
For the off-shore option I’d like to know what sea-state I can expect and how far off-shore I need to go to be able to tack and go straight to the Straits of Juan de Fuca.
How big of a crew does one need, 3, 4 or more?
My boat is a Wauquiez Pretorian, completely ready for blue-water cruising.
