Hello! We are planning a move out to the suburbs and Snoqualmie Ridge has definitely caught our eye. Beautiful area with great looking homes! How is the commute from Snoqualmie to Seattle though? Will need to go in 2-3 days a week to downtown/SLU area.

Pre-Covid: Depending on the time of day it can take 40 minutes to an hour or more. Snoqualmie to Issaquah is usually a breeze, except for icy winter conditions. Once you get to Issaquah it can get congested the rest of the way in after about 6:30am.Going home it will always be congested through Bellevue and into Issaquah, then open up again the rest of the way, but generally it will take longer in the afternoon.

Since March 2020 I have not gone into the office (Belltown) very often, and back then it was pretty smooth sailing with so many working from home. Now as people return to offices and tourism returns it's back almost to the same level of backups as before.

There are people that drive to the Issaquah Transit Center from S. Ridge, then take the bus (ST554) to Westlake (35 minutes) then another 15 minute bus ride to SLU.

Not perfect but not so bad. Straight shot on I-90. Stay left at I-405 bottle up.

Piece of cake!! Don't even hesitate. I'm thinking of moving to Snoqualmie Pass and making the commute.

I wouldn't do it, but I understand different people have different tolerances. However, regardless of tolerance, a long commute will negatively affect your health so you should factor that in too.
