The PDX-SEA commute can be a pain. I live in Ridgefield, WA (where I-5 and 205 split/meet.) It’s roughly a hair over 2 hours to drive to the SeaTac parking lot. If you hit the bad times, it can take three hours. Not a horrible drive. It’s nice to have the option to drive or fly. IF things work perfectly, flying saves me roughly 20 minutes, by the time you go to the airport, ride the employee shuttle, list and wait for your jumpseat…. But you might catch a nap… However, the thought does cross your mind on go home day ‘I just missed my first flight. If I drove, I’d be home by now.’
Keep in mind, there are a TON of commuters between the two cities! Feel free to reach out if I can help answer any questions about the area or drive. (Former Horizon, now Delta.)
