I can remember driving in the summer on the 520 bridge. It was scheduled for an opening as a boat was passing through. This in itself is rare, as it only occurs once or twice a year.

Highway 99 - I love driving the 99. It passes along the Seattle waterfront, with downtown to your right or left depending on if you are headed north or south.

Don't expect anyone to drive the speed limit if it's even slightly raining! You'd think living in Washington people would understand the limits of driving in light rain versus heavy rain, but people just freak out and go 20 under the limit.

One night I was driving home after going to a bar, around 2-3 am. I had never seen the city so empty, as it's usually a traffic hell.

So it being super early and pouring down rain (as that is my favorite weather) I really had time to look around and enjoy everything. I was having so much fun I decided to drive around the town to see it all. Normally it just feels like a big city, akin to L.A. But at that moment if felt like a whole different world.

Bellevue Way - It's just a great road, well paved, and can lead you to just about anything in Bellevue. Plus it's the road I have taken the most, as I used to go to college near there. It's got just enough lanes most of the way to ensure that you aren't too bogged down traffic wise.

My family and I planned to take my wife out to dinner in this area and we thought we would get an early start at 5:00pm. As it turns out, 1,000 other cars seemed to have the same plan as we did & it ended up taking us 30 minutes to go a 1/2 mile from the freeway to Lincoln Square. As this area continues to grow, I fear how bad traffic may become.

Bellevue Way. - It is usually the most efficient means to get to the downtown area from the south. Traffic lights area spaced out and there are multiple lanes.
