Good driving roads?

Curious to know if anyone knows of some good roads to cruise/drive on around here. Here being anywhere with in say....25 miles of Tacoma. Somewhere I can go and just drive without hitting traffic on the highway or a stop light every couple hundred feet. Something with some curves and that isn't to busy.

Anybody got some ideas? Anyone wanna go cruise? If you know of a place I need a land mark or some way to get there. I got nav but I don't know the area that well.

Interested to see what you guys come up with.

Ben Howard Rd.- but like stated above cops have been snooping out there alot more.

Sultan Basin Rd.- out near Monroe off hwy 2

Green Valley Rd.- heads from auburn out to flaming gyeser park

Hwy 410 up past crystal mountain- really cool as soon as it opens after winter, big snowbanks on either side of the road.

We have alot of other roads too. Where exactly is fircrest??

Fircrest is next to University Place. Ehhh roughly between Tacoma and Fort Lewis.

You can drive the road next to shore here in NE Tacoma. Browns Point/Dash Point area.

Head up to Mt. Rainer, cop level is marginal, but it's fun and twisty. someone already said 410 to Crystal, that road is sick, the banks are so huge on the corners!
