Which is the best way in getting to Navada City from SF or LA, then on to Seattle. Rental car, bus etc and how long would it take.
Rental car!
You could either start from San Francisco or Los Anegles, depends on how much you want to see Los Angeles. Assuming that you want to visit both...
Los Angeles to San Francisco
San Francisco to Nevada City
Nevada City to Portland
Portland to Seattle
If you mean Nevada City, this is about an hour north of Sacramento. Rental Car would be your best choice.
From LA take I-5 North to I-80 and then CA49 into Nevada City. I've done this and it takes about 8-9 hours with a couple of stops for food and such. From SF just take 80 over to CA49 and you are looking at about 3 hours.
From Nevada City go back south to Sacramento and pick up I-5 and go north to Seattle. You can take CA20 over to the 5, but we did this one time and it just seemed to take a very long time, but it is an option. You can do this in a long day but if you want to rest, Eugene OR is just about half way.
Take a day trip. Sacramento is centrally located between Mountains and Ocean. If you're adventurous you can see both in the same day. You can see San Francisco, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, Napa wine country, Reno, Humboldt county, or Yosemete all within a 2 or 3 hour drive. When I am away, I truly miss the weather. Yeah it gets hot in the summer but the rest of the year it's really mild. It never gets too cold and hardly ever rains for more than 2 days at a time
The Sacramento Rivercats are in the Pacific Coast League. They are the AAA affiliate of Major League Baseballs the Oakland Athletics. Going into the 2004 season, they are the league champions. The season begins in early April and goes through early to mid-September. Raley Field is a gem of a minor league baseball field, and a must see for any baseball fanatic.
This is the best!

This is a really good brewpub that sells one of its beer (IPA) in bottles elsewhere but otherwise sells a range of beers only on premises. The beer overall is quite good and the food and service are great. The location is nice, near sevweral other eateries and in a generally very lively area, with nice outdoor seating under large, old siberian elm trees that provide a lot of shade. There is a good kids' menu, too. It is one of seral brewpubs in Sacramento but overall we really like this place.
The beer range is pretty good, they usually have at least one guest micro-brew from elsewhere, and they sometimes have cask ales. The tri-tip sandwich and the make-your-own grilled cheese are excellent. The latter starts with a couple types of real cheese (not "American") and one can add various extras. The stout is a particularly good beer.
Sacramento's renovated old town is certainly one of the highlights of the city. Although it has become a bit touristy, it has one of the best collections of early Victorian/Gold Rush-era architecture from the 1850s and 1860s in California and is one of the most historical places in the state. This waterfront area of downtown is where the new city of Sacramento was born in 1849, quickly growing to be the 2nd largest, 2nd richest and most important city in the state, for decades being overshadowed only by an Francisco. A natural break-of-bulk point (where goods and people transferred from one form of transport to another or where they came before going elsewhere) for river travel in the days before railroads, the city controlled the transport to and from the northern half of the goldfields, between the interior and gold regions to San Francisco and ultimately the rest of the world. This was the location of the western end of the Pony Express. This was where the Big Four - Stanford, Crocker, Hopkins and Huntington - made their fortunes and had their businesses. This is where Judah and the Big Four dreamed of the transcontinental railroad the led ultimately to the Central Pacific Railroad, so that even with the arrival of the train, Sacramento remained the leading regional transport hub with what was for over a century the largest and busiest railyard in the western U.S. Unlike San Francisco, Sacramento also was fortunate to have so many of its Gold Rush-era buildings survive. Today, while a few had to be reconstructed completely, these many surviving originals have been refurbished, allowing for a largely unbroken Gold Rush-era cityscape so that one can see and really feel what the city was like in 1860 or so.
Therefore, even for those who don't like the touristy shops and bars, etc., this is a unique and highly importance and interesting place to visit for California history and old architecture. One must simply look past the touristy element and know that this really is the real thing, refurbished but not just a mock-up.
It also is home to the California State Railroad Museum and train, Sacramento Museum, the California Military Museum, a number of restaurants, candy stores and more. There is a passage under the freeway to the rest of downtown and the downtown mall.
