Woodinville to Microsoft? (Seattle: school, bus, title)

[mattman206]

Does anyone know how the commute from Woodinville (around the highschool) to Microsoft is?

I'm thinking that 522 to 405 to 520 might be pretty congested -- are there any good backroad alternatives?

405 will end your life as you know it. During regular commuting hours, anyone in a single-occupancy vehicle will spend amazing numbers of hours not having a life 5 days a week if they choose to drive on 405.

If you do a Search on City-Data for 405 in the Seattle subforum, you will find many many many many residents exclaiming the horrors of 405.
If you do a search for Woodinville in the titles, you'll gain lots of ideas.

The best choice could be to drive to a Microsoft Connector Bus stop, park the car, and leave the driving to Microsoft:

I agree except it depends on the time of day. We have made the drive many times in 30 minutes and their are back ways. Before 7:30 should be okay. Better before. Best of luck---our neightbor leaves around 7:00 and goes the back roads. Hope this helps.
