Hello,

i will be driving from chicago to seattle with my wife and son (he is 15) in July and i have 15 days including our stay in Seattle. Here are my questions:

1- How much time should we spend in Seattle? We don't have visa for Canada but are there any must see cities around Seattle we should not miss? Would i need my car during my stay in Seattle you think or should i return the rented car as soon as i arrive in Seattle?

2- Depending on your answer for my first question how would you organize the road trip with two nights stay at famous Yellowstone which my son wants most as he is interested in wild life?

3-Where should we make the stops in terms of safety and the sight seeing?

4-Any advices to make detour max 100 miles along our route?

5-I can drive up to 6 hours a day and we can stay for more than 1 night at a stop if necessary.

Thank you in advance for your answers.
