There are plenty of other reasons to do running start, aside from transfer credits. Access to higher level subjects you wouldn't have access to otherwise.
Personally, I traded high school PE for scuba and yoga, a full year of A&P, college calculus, and an intro year of psych.
Transfer credits had very little to do with it - it was just a more fulfilling curriculum.
My understanding is that there are been a number of reforms to WA community colleges that mean that a larger portion of community college credits transfer to public universities now. Of course, going out of state is a roll of the dice as always.

Very true. I loved taking Microbiology as a HS student. Def something I wouldn't have gotten the chance to do normally. And CC offers far more advanced math than HS.
