Episode Details

Seattle’s Denny Way just got a major traffic overhaul with a new dedicated bus lane between 5th Ave and I-5, designed to speed up Route 8 — which moves 7,000 riders daily and is notorious for delays. The lane forces cars into one narrow lane and eliminates left turns to smooth things for buses, aiming to cut congestion overall. Drivers are split: some say it’s making traffic worse, others see no change, while riders are hopeful. The city plans to add more Route 8 trips using existing funds, but the real game-changer could be a November ballot measure — if approved, a sales tax hike would fund nearly 100,000 extra bus trips citywide, pushing Seattle toward a more reliable, transit-friendly future.
