Suspect your right -my pocket book will like bypassing the outlooks
but the bad news is the detours depending on which you take (or they force you down) add another 8 or 14 miles to the trip for those coming and going from the North and a fair bit of time as they are not freeways..... will be slow going. The I20 around Burlington was pretty jammed as it it was this past week-end. Would avoid this week-end for sure while they get the kinks worked out as to what works and doesnt for traffic routing.
Dave you should be fine coming off the Island for most of it. Suspect the big log jam with be on the 20 between the 536 turn off and the I5. Going south you might want to take a turn off down one of the nice little farm roads off the 20 long before you get near the 536. We might start to see some local traffic only signs go up on some of those back roads though as the closure drags on ...... or avoid it and just head down to the Mukilteo/Clinton ferry.
