That's a long way. I doubt you'll easily find a scheduled service between Seattle and anywhere in the Russian Far East. Are there even freighters going back and forth? I suppose, but I'd imagine that Japan/Russia is much more realistic from a freight perspective.
Even if you do find a Seattle/Russian Far East route, that's a LONG time on a boat that will likely have zero accomodations that you'd enjoy for more than a few minutes. I took the Alaskan Marine Ferry from near Anchorage to Bellingham a few years ago and it was five days of drudgery (ah, somewhat like that six days I spent on the transsib...!).
You can take the ferry from Fushiki to Vladivostok (or the other way) - visit http://www.bisintour.com/ for more info.
Also, a great place to visit in the Man in Seat 61 - http://www.seat61.com/Trans-Siberian.htm
