GUEST COLUMNIST
I've lived in Seattle and worked at The Boeing Co. for almost 29 years. My office is four miles from home and for 28 years, I drove to work. As the years went by, I found that because of traffic, it became increasingly difficult to get to points north of downtown, so I cut out social visits to Ballard, decided against taking night classes at the University of Washington and finally determined anything north of downtown as something I'd do on a day when I wasn't working.

Beautiful!!! And I should know better than to read the comments though most of them were good. The bad ones, uh, I hope I'm never on the road when they are driving.
I bet you inspired some future commuters
