I used to love driving in Seattle when I lived there. But I go to the
windy roads of lake washington blvd through Medina, carkeek park and
occasionally go over tacoma narrows to Bambridge Island and take the
ferry back. I never go on I-5 or 520 or I-90 to drive. I take those
just to go to work. But then I used to live on Beacon Hill and work
at Pike Place market.. so I never take those to even go to work..
