Thanks, so generally, weekend afternoons (like Sundays) should be ok on the I-5?
Would you still use Express lanes around Seattle too or it's faster on regular lanes where you have a few at least to weave in and out of, if someone is taking their sweet time in the left lane?
IIRC though, there are two express lanes most of the way, which is good. The one thing I hate about an HOV lane is you get stuck behind someone wanting to do the speed limit the whole way...
