When I am here in Seattle, I spend a good deal of time suffering in some of the country's worst and most congested traffic. These are some snaps of my commute from work back to the hotel tonight.
Yes, I was moving so slow that I could take pictures while driving.
Because I stay at a hotel in downtown Seattle and work across Lake Washington, twice a day I get to drive through one of the country's worst traffic hot spots - The Evergreen Point Bridge on SR-520.
The AAA has ranked this bridge as one of the top 10 worst commuter hot spots in the U.S. This floating bridge supports the majority of cross-lake traffic north of downtown Seattle at approximately 110,000 vehicles per day. It's one of the oldest floating bridges in the world and is approaching the end of its life time after over forty years of service. I always get a little jittery driving across it.
I was happy to finally get back to my room. The view tonight...
I've driven on this bridge - had no idea it floats. Thinking about it makes me jittery.

Dare I ask why you don't stay closer to where you work to avoid the commute?
