If you've been to downtown Seattle you know why people don't drive there.

Traffic? The worst intersections I've seen in the country? The fact that when you get there parking for an hour often costs more than a day pass for the train and bus?

Easy solution: just drive toward Denny & Stewart then get out of your car. By the time you're back from whatever you were doing there you may be able to move forward a bit. Free parking!

I'm pretty sure that's how people use the I5 in Seattle.

There is no "the I-5" north of California.

I was talking about calling it "the I-5". That's a California thing. Washingtonians and Oregonians call it "I-5".
