The city of Seattle is pretty hilly, but nothing terrible.

Post by: MrAngryFace on July 18, 2007, 02:07:01 PM: I do the Mill Creek to Redmond drive. Bothell/Everett Hwy takes anywhere from 15-25 minutes to get to the 405, then 405 without carpool takes anywhere from 25-60 minutes depending on a whole slew of variables.

As the 405 in Southern Orange County is the worst freeway in the world, this is likely true.

I used to think the 5, 10, 101, and 91 were bad. But I've seen days when there was simply no freeflow traffic. None at all, just stopped from 7 am to 7 pm. An amorphous mass of Rush Hour.

Post by: Mr. Gundam on July 18, 2007, 07:38:18 PM: I took the 405 and drilled a stake down into
your center, and stated that it's never ever
been better than this. I hung my favorite
shirt on the floorboard, wrinkled up from
pulling pushing and tasting.

You keep twisting the truth that keeps me
thrown askew.

Misguided by the 405 'cause it lead me to an
alcoholic summer. I missed the exit to your
parents' house hours aga. Red wine and the
cigarettes: hide you bad habits underneath
the patio.

:punch

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on July 18, 2007, 09:16:43 PM: you always use the definite article with roads, anyhow. at least here.

"take the 405 to the 605 to the 805."

maybe the rule is looser for < 100 roads
