Commute times

8/26/2007
Commute times in Western Washington are close to the worst in the US. Seattle has never had, and won't have any time soon, public transit like the Bay Area. In my case, if I miss the last "train" (and I mean an actual train - on BNSF rails, not light rail) at 5:40 in the evening, I have only one other alternative and that gets me home at 8:30 p.m. When I lived in SF I had public transportation alternatives until midnight and later.
Seattle and surrounding areas need to get with the program and provide alternatives to getting in your car for 90 minutes just because you have no other options.
