My family went up the coast one summer. We stopped at the giant redwoods, Sea Lion Caves, and something else I can not remember along the Washington coast. Using Yahoo Maps, it is 19 hours of driving to get from San Francisco to where US 101 meets the main road from the Washington coast to Seattle (another 2 hours without traffic). There is a tourism site for driving the coast. http://www.pacific101.com/
There will not be anything to see today, but you could stop at the beach in Oregon where they blew up the whale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_whale
It is a little old skool, but the AAA Oregon & Washington Tour Book would have points of interest along the coast.
Edit: Oh, a warning, you do not pump your own gas in Oregon. They hire people that seem like they are borderline homeless to do it for you.
