    It's a 20 minute drive from Redmond to Seattle. It's a 3 hour drive from Seattle to the ocean.

      Ok someone has never been to Seattle it seems. It's not a 3 hour drive to the ocean.

        It's amazing that the drive to the Northern part of the Olympia Peninsula is so long, Bellingham which looks much farther is around a half hour closer.

      I suppose it would depend on what you'd qualify as "the ocean". I lived in Seattle for 4.5 years, and while I don't consider Elliot Bay[1] to be "the ocean" per se, it's pretty close - and you have all the corrosion problems and general exposure to the elements that you'd get, which I think was the original point of the comparison in this thread.

    I'm aware - I worked there. But it's pretty close - certainly not far enough to be oblivious to the ocean
