We thought that our traffic had returned to close to pre-pandemic levels at the start of the school year. The return of Amazon workers to Seattle shows we hadn’t seen anything yet.
A King County Metro bus near the Amazon Spheres in downtown Seattle. I’ve been watching the regional morning commute for almost nine years now. I have a pretty good idea of what our patterns look like or should look like.
With kids returning to school in September, we started to look a lot like we did in early 2020. It started getting a little heavier at the start of this year, but the return of Amazon workers to Seattle for three days a week has blown our commutes out of the water.I have noticed a pronounced increase in congestion on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays since the return to work, especially on the westbound lake bridges.
Commute times for Interstate 90 and State Route 520 were hovering in the 20 to 25 minute range during the height of the morning commute until more than an estimated 50,000 Amazon workers started driving into Seattle again.
