I sure wouldn't backtrack from Winthrop. Drop out thru Pateros, Wenatchee, Ellensburg...take the canyon to Yakima, west on 410 to Mt Rainier, out to hwy 12 one way or another. Take usfs rd 25 south off hwy 12 in Randle, up and around St Helens, out thru the gorge or woodland and I-5, west out of Longview to the coast Astoria, or Long beach. and run 101 back north or how ever much time ya got left may decide............Now that's a Washington Loop

Alternate route take Hwy 153 to Twisp then on to Winthrop. It is more scenic then Loop Loop Pass. 2 east is beautiful following the river into Leavenworth. Good choice.
Day 2-Check the ferry schedule for the Keystone Ferry to Port Townsend. Pt Townsend is a more happening town than P.A. music food etc
Day 3- Are you riding west on 101 to Forks or South on 101 to Shelton ?Just a suggestion but the ride along Hood Canal on 101 is outstanding. Through the rain forest is not as scenic.
Day 4- Great route along the Ocean and Grays Harbor!
Day 5 -Riding 2 up on a Forest Service road can be real bumpy and slow. I prefer Hwy 97 north to either Hwy 12 (White Pass)scenic views or HWY 410 (Chinook Pass) come down the side of a mountain. Spectacular!
You will have a blast!!!!!!!!!!!
