Karen had been wishing for some snow in Seattle for quite some time now, and tonight it all came true… too true. By the time I wanted to leave work, the anxiously departing cars were bumper to bumper all the way to P2 of the garage. The Seattle Traffic site provided good information about travel times:
Travel time to Seattle 66 minutes
Travel time to Bothell 48 minutes
Travel time to Everett 93 minutes
There was only one minor detail missing:
Travel time to freeway: 100 minutes
I went back to my office, only to see a shuttle make its way across the driveway (span of 30 yards) in about one hour. By then, I decided the best way to get home was… the number 11 bus. My trusty feet.
Just to give you an idea of the situation:
No, none of those cars were moving. On the way I encountered some miniature snowmen…
In the end, it took 45 minutes to walk home, but all I can say is… home sweet home!
Johnny had to walk home from Redmond. He abandoned his car halfway between Marymoor and Uwajimaya 🙁 We retrieved it yesterday morning.
