Tell me about it! Once I almost missed the ferry to Alaska because it took so long to drive through Seattle. If you pick your timing, sometimes you can get through unscathed.

Wish you would write to our Dem House, Senate, Governor, and tell them that all FIVE Counties in Western Washington, all Dem held, are doing a positively lousy job of traffic control. All they know is road projects, labor unions, high HIGH costs and overruns, and no alternative answers!! With so many people moving here from out of the area, from all over the country, because of Gates Techland and derivatives, it truly is out of hand. PLUS, no one will even entertain the thought of cheap land rail, or even a couple of ferries across Lake Washington at rush hour. Notice I said CHEAP. There are lots of plans for expensive land rail....BILLIONS of dollars per each project!!!! And not good projects at that. Do we want to believe the Democratic government in this state who have never met a tax they didn't like???? Or an overrun that ALWAYS happens with no penalties....???? Seattle gets the majority of the buses, and yet, most of the citizenry have moved to the outlying cities because the prices in Seattle are SO high....There is simply NO adequate bus system between Eastside city to Eastside city.........None, zero, zip, nada. I actually think more would of the people would take the busses, IF it were convenient, and now 2 hours or more per each AM and PM commute!!
