Looking for numbers on Bellevue Woodridge to Seattle Downtown commute times before covid.

Evaluating an offer in Seattle downtown Uber office but due to covid traffic impact I cannot get the traffic data.

Anyone know what would the commute times be like via I90 (since it's closer to enter) to Uber Seattle during different times in the morning evening?

Morning: 9am, 930am, 10am, 1030am and 11am?

Evening: 5pm, 6pm, 7pm?

    I have done Bellevue (Factoria) to SLU commute by car pre COVID and it takes 45 mins to an hour if you start around 9:00 AM (without HOV). Good thing is you can attend calls or listen to audio books while commuting. Parking is expensive in Seattle and the stop-and-go traffic can really take a toll on you.

    I have also done the commute using public transport and although it saves you only ~15 minutes over commuting by car, it is cheap and you can sometimes get some work done during the commute. It also gives you some exercise.

    I never had a set return commute time so can’t comment. If you’ start back around 6:30 it takes about 30 minutes whether you take your car or use public transport.

    It was all free flowing after 10 am for sure as my commute was mostly after 10 am. Sometimes, it may be stop and go which is rare if there are any accidents or such During the early hours from 7 am to 9 am it will very conjusted.

    I’m right off exit 11a (by the Factoria mall), and it would take my wife and I about 25 min from our driveway to Doppler garage. That being said, we rode in the HOV since there’s two of us.

  • At least 30min, worst case 1 hr. No traffic (30min) around 7am and it kinda gets progressively worse until 10am. i also had an offer from Uber so i asked about parking situation, seemed like parking itself would be 400+$ a month. All of which seemed like a lot of headache so i took a perma remote job instead...

    Uber Seattle office is small, can you share which teams are in Seattle?
