I've ridden most of the route you suggest. It was fine, low traffic, good shoulders for most of it. I'm still alive! ;-)

Good route! An option is to use the Canby Ferry instead of the I-5 bridge.

You want to avoid 213. It is very narrow and has alot of fast traffic. You
can take a number of other north south roads between it and 99, and get to
Mt Angel and Silverton safely. You would be better off going to Wilsonville,
crossing I-5, and heading south from Butteville down Alder Grove or French
Prairie, through Salem, out S River Rd, to Independence, and south on
Corvallis Rd to Corvallis. You can stay off 99W that way. Try clicking on

bycycle.org appears to work only in the Portland metro area, which doesn't
seem to include Corvallis. I wonder what it would take to get them to expand
it to more of the state. Monetary contributions?

Do any of you know of a good bike route from West Linn/OR City to Corvallis? I am thinking about taking 213 to Silverton, then turning straight south on Cascade Hwy to Stayton and continuing on Stayton-Scio Rd to 226 then 226 to 20. 20 through Albany to Corvallis.

Would that work, or am I asking to get killed out there? I'd like to keep the route as direct as possible, but I am willing to take some scenic detours if it means I arrive alive.

Thanks.
