What Do I Need To Know To Get Around?
![]() Seattle traffic is now the 2nd worst in the nation, with the SR-520 bridge over Lake Washington being one of the worst choke holds in the country. Buses qualify for the carpool lane, and Seattle's Metro Transit has an excellent system with online trip planning and friendly 24/7 customer service as well. Visit them here!

A Word To The Wise: PLAN AHEAD!
![]() Road construction in the Greater Seattle area is a never-ending part of life. I strongly recommend checking in HERE before you start your week. There will be fewer tears that way.
Something You Will Rarely See in Seattle
![]() It doesn't snow often in the city of Seattle. When it does, stay home. There will be no plows out salting and clearing the streets, and if you break down, no one is coming to get you.
Something You Will Frequently See in Seattle
![]() Prepare to share the road with bicycles. Biking is big in Seattle, and you will note markings on the pavement when you're sharing your lane with a cyclist.
Pedestrians are treated pretty well here, too. They can usually cross the street confident they will not be run over. |
