Same here!

That is NOT typical rush hour congestion.

I used to cross 90 picking my husband up in downtown, and going back everyday - for a couple of years. Granted, we used HOV - but the single occupant lanes were not that light.

Ah, ok, I get it.

Well, i thought it was pretty congested going EB but looking at the western high-rise, it looks as if the traffic is in fact moving ...it's usually sitting at a standstill, you're right.

I agree - absolutely wonderful pictures - BUT OH SO BIASED!

How many DAYS are in there? Only the sunny ones I see - how about the other 300 days of the year it looks all grey and crappy

[seahawksweetie]

I like it both ways, gray and crappy or sunny. I wasn't commenting on the weather when I said beautiful pictures. I just think Seattle is a great city regardless of the weather.

But of course that what makes us all unique. Everyone likes different things. Would be very boring if we all liked the same thing.

Maybe you should specify that so folks don't get the wrong idea. It really IS gray and overcast about 300 days a year--or more....I would LOVE to see someone with some courage post those pictures!
