My 5 years in Seattle taught me that there's no faster way to commute than by car. I bought a house as close into the city as I could, but the only affordable place was Skyway, so that's where I ended up. My partner and I at the time were both in tech, and that's all we could afford. Anything closer in to where transit didn't suck, cost monumentally more money. Prices of homes near light rail was totally unaffordable. When we left Seattle, we would not have been able to afford the house at the price we sold it.
