Title says it all. Any recommendations? Or is Google maps pretty comprehensive?

I use One Bus Away, which uses GPS to find the nearest bus stop and arrival times, updated with delays by users. I also have text alerts that you set up on the King County Metro website for delays on routes that you may use. For driving, there is a WSDOT App that lets you see the traffic from the webcam system from your phone and has color coded road map showing areas with congestion.

For king county metro, One Bus Away for sure. The new version is extra nice.

For routing you can get away with google maps but on a scale of 1-10 I put it at 5 in terms of transit routing. The king county trip planner really is this best for this as it knows about all the various connections, provides waypoints, alternate trips , alerts etc. There is no app for it unfortunately.

I like "Seattle Freeways" - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/seat...329334034?mt=8. It's the same basic WSDOT data that drives all of the other traffic data, but I like the quick access and defined routes.
