Road Biking to Rainier & Olympic

Hello! Would love some suggestions on planning a route from Seattle to Rainier and back and Seattle to Olympic and back. Have found some routes online, but unclear how safe they are for bikes around cars, and suggestions for places to stay along the way etc.

If you have done this before, and have thoughts on scenic and safe-ish from cars routes, would love your input!

(I am used to riding hills and would consider myself an amateur intermediate cyclist, not very fast but by can climb hills and do long distances.)
