stlhdh20, I'd like to know which way you drove "around south" that was quicker than taking the Edmonds ferry... unless you're talking about summer ferry traffic, with three-boat waits, I can't see how driving around is faster? If you know a secret, let me in on it!!

I make the Blyn (Sequim Bay) to Seattle (Ballard) commute about four times a month, it takes me about 40 minutes to get to Kingston, I usually decide when I hit the Hood Canal Bridge whether I'm going to do Kingston or Edmonds, but it's usually Kingston for me, then it's maybe 10 of 15 minute wait for the ferry, a 25 minute crossing, and 30 minutes to drive from Edmonds to Ballard. I usually plan on 2 hours for the whole trip.

On the other hand, I know it takes me an hour and a half to drive from Blyn to the Tacoma Narrows bridge, and I can't see how it could take less than a half hour to get from the Tacoma Narrows bridge to Edmonds (in order to beat the ferry time)... if you know how to do that, please let me know.
