Commuting to Bellevue for 2 weeks; need advice
So i just got a new job with Verizon Wireless. Training is out in Bellevue at 8am. I live in new housing devolpments in Fife, right by Levee road (Puyallup River). So i'm close to both I-5 and 167.
What do you guys think i should do? The corp office is actually off of 1-90 so:
1) should i take 167 to 405 to i-90 ( i know 167 sucks a$$ in the morning)
2) Take i-5 to 405 to i-90
3) Take i-5 to i-90
Oh and i'm by myself, no car pool lane
What'cha think?

Where in Bellevue is their training office?
If you're close to I-5, definitely take that. You want to avoid 167 N. It gets bad around 212th and is really backed up at the 405 interchange. I-90 E is pretty bad, but then again, so is 405 N. Not really sure what's better b/w those two.

Get dark tints and ride carpool, that's what I do
But if you're looking for another answer, take I-5 to I-90
i work for verizon in the corp office. I live in Dupont. THe absolutly best way to go is i-5 to 18 and take that all the way trust me i do it all the time you will have no traffic.... and one other thing to bad you dont live further down south they would have put you up in a hotel....Good luck with the drive....

Yep. That is why I got 5% on my coupe.
My wife got caught only once and it was dismissed anyway.
Dark tints and carpool lane FTW

When I lived in SoCal, it was only $271, but I heard they jacked it up to a shade over a GRAND
Edit: Just out of curiosity, I tried to verify it, but I think it might be rumor
