There's no direct route from the coast. 12 takes you farthest south, but aside from a single steep pass is the easiest. 90 is fastest, but you have to get there before the fast part happens, and there's Vantage. 12/2 is the northern route, and possibly the slowest/most work. But again you have to get there.
The fun way for me would be to do the 101 loop coastwise, north, and along the strait to Discovery Bay. I'd have lunch at Fat Smitty's, turn onto 20e, ferry to coupville, and head to Idaho on 20 (sometimes also 2). Turn left on 95 in Idaho, and don't forget to stop and visit with the nice people you're sure to meet in Boundary.
Of course if you're married to the reservation in Vantage, none of the discussion matters.
