I work flex hours and have tried everything between 730 AM to Noon (oh yeah!) leaving West Seattle. I’ve noticed that 945-1030 AM always has a nice lull in traffic. So if you can move that slot, leave at 945 and start your day at 10:15. Gatewood (top of the hill) to downtown core : 7.5 miles via 99 (or 8-9 via I-5) can be done in 14-17 mins flat of drive time. Work ends a bit later with the added benefit of less traffic on the way home (between 7 and 8pm) too.
This schedule may not work if you have any young humans to care for.
