WSDOT says travelers should expect delays on Interstate 5, Interstate 405, state Route 99 and state Route 18 as crews tackle construction and maintenance.
People who get used to lazy-driving I-5 alla time tend to not have worked out how to do N-S travel off-the-beaten-path. (I’m not giving away the secret routes.) East-West driving is harder, especially if you have to cross the lazy-line.
Despite the 15-minute waits, the bus system is okay unless your journey is a long one. (From what I’ve read, though, in many large cities they expect 5-to-10-minute waits, then get pissed.) If you’re near a RapidRide that goes where you going, it’s not bad … otherwise, a several mile trip is an hour to 1.5 hours -each way- , with -at least- one transfer (each of which may take up to an added 15 minutes).
Again, N-S on light rail is pretty damned swift … IF you don’t need an E-W bus at either end. OF COURSE the rail - like Aurora - is RIGHT NEXT to the freeway.
