    Advise.  Next Tuesday i need to make a rare commute time trip out of WS-from N Admiral. I need to get to Montlake by @8:45am. What time should i be leaving?? Timing is assuming it’s a “normal”  day.

    I’d leave at 7 and plan to get some coffee if I’m early. I know that sounds like a ridiculous amount of time. Getting onto the 1st Ave S Bridge will take the most time. I would also take the tunnel instead of getting on I-5. It will be much faster.

    Thanks Paula.  Betting that 7am departure will turn out to be not too early………..

Sorry, comment time is over.
