Driving time from SEA-PDX (and vice-versa) is a good, full three (3) hours downtown-to-downtown intraffic. During traffic jams in the SEA or PDX areas, travel times often are appreciably longer (up to 5 hours).I guess that since SEA is situated south of D/T Seattle, that maybe cuts 15 minutes off travel time. So 2h45m of driving. If I lived in the Seattle area, opting out would be far more desirable than chugging for 2.75 hours or more in many times unpredictable traffic or other unforseen events (like flooding which can close roads and highways). So as my heart throbs at me for saying this as a part-time PDXer, I would not recommend the added 2h45m just to avoid the NoS and would remove PDX from the list.~FAI PDX Flyer
