Despite having the same job since late 2014 my commute sure has changed a lot... Office was originally in Seattle, I've been moving around on the eastside between Redmond/Renton(south side)/Bellevue and now the office is in Bellevue. At first it was ~10 minute drive to a park and ride (or sometimes unofficially WageWorks' parking lot across the street when the p&r was full, or MS's underground parking, depending on which p&r I went to...) followed by ~25-45 mins (again depending on p&r on the bus, but the shorter one almost always meant no seat). Saved me from the 520 toll, which at a previous job was absent and then a reasonable fee at the beginning but I always took the non toll bridge home. Anyway at my current job my whole team became remote so I just started working from home, and that lasted for a little over two years and a couple moves. It's nice rolling out of my bed and slumping over to the next room to begin the day though. When I was in Renton for a year, just driving to work took ~45 minutes, I never tried taking the bus since that would have easily taken at least 90 minutes and that would be after driving 10-20 mins to a p&r likely to be full. Renton wasn't great for going out. My housemate worked in Bellevue at the time, and the new toll lanes on I-405 screwed him (and everyone really) over. Still causes traffic problems today I think. It was bad enough he wouldn't leave the house until 10 or 11am and not come home until past 7pm and the traffic still wasn't great. Moved back to Bellevue a year ago, and while I still worked from home at least I could get to the office reasonably quickly again via going to a p&r and taking a short 20-30 minute bus ride, or drive if I had to. (Paying for parking sucks.) The office moved to Bellevue in January and I started coming in again, alternating carpooling with my housemate (he gets free parking) & taking the bus. Still 20 mins at the right time or 45+ respectively. Just wrapped up another move and now I'm a short 7 minute drive away, or 5 mins of walking plus a 12-15 min bus ride and another 4 mins. When it's warmer I can probably walk the whole way in ~45 mins.
