Ask anyone who has driven into Seattle since May 1 what their experience has been like.
I have noticed a pronounced increase in congestion on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays since the return to work, especially on the westbound lake bridges.
Commute times for Interstate 90 and State Route 520 were hovering in the 20 to 25 minute range during the height of the morning commute until more than an estimated 50,000 Amazon workers started driving into Seattle again.But I know, that’s just anecdotal. That’s my gut. So I asked our friends at Inrix reports the average speed on westbound SR 520 has dropped by 28% during weekdays since the Amazon return. The average speed on westbound I-90 has dropped by 38%.
