I'll be leaving Friday but if you can't find a ride elsewhere, another option is the train.

P.S. When Humu says it's 2.5 hours with a lead foot, this is highly dependent on when you leave and from which point in Seattle. I've made it in 2 hours, but just last Friday afternoon I left downtown Seattle for Portland, driving absolutely as fast as the traffic allowed, and barely reached Olympia in 2.5 hours. This is not only because of the thick traffic but because pacific northwest drivers are completely oblivious to the idea that the left lane is the passing lane. (It must be something in the geoducks.)

P.P.S. If you're ever fortunate enough to hitch a ride with the family Dogbytes, which I was lucky enough to do a couple times last year, you not only get a convenient ride with fun people, but the bonus of a very amusing three-way conversation between Ms. Dogbytes, Mr. Dogbytes, and the GPS system.
