> it is possible to commute into Seattle from east of I5,

I5 runs through the middle of Seattle. Many people do commute from nearby towns east of Seattle, like from Bellevue, or a little place you may have heard of called Redmond.

But I have an extremely hard time believing that Seattle could get an M9 and Bellevue to Issaquah would be unaffected.

Or that within the city, SLU, being west of I5, is affected, but Capitol Hill directly east is OK.

Great point. What I was looking at was from 45m-1hr to the east of Seattle, not counting traffic.
