Leave Seattle at 1pm. It takes 5-10 minutes to get to 90/I5. Leave at 5pm, it takes an hour.

Hopefully ST3 comes to fruition as there simply aren't many more places to put highways.

Seattle’s congestion is kind a crap-chute because every downtown/SLU employee is basically choked through a bridge in one way or another.
