Yeah, I've thankfully avoided most of the seattle traffic over the years by working remote but have gotten disgruntled with some of the public transit issues (bus bunching problems / stop closures / etc.). On the plus side the density's attracted more services - we have three 'grab n' go' car-rental services (zipcar/car2go/reachnow) and three dockless bicycle rental services (spin/limebike/ofo) which is seemingly more than any city I can think of in the world.

Most folks working at local medium-large businesses seem to get price-reduced orca cards for their daily commute.
