Entered Seattle on the Burke Gilman bike trail.  Also rode some quiet residential streets.  When the traffic got thick, for  just a few blocks in downtown Seattle, I walked my bike. 

Here shows crossing I-5 near Capital Hill.  Look how much room the freeway takes!

Leaving Seattle on Ferry to Bremerton.  It was "Seafair Weekend" and I wanted to avoid crowds and "No Vacancy" signs at motels.

Bremerton was boring enough to provide a reasonably priced motel.  

Someone called that town;

"Bummertown."

Next day, I peddled toward Olympia on Highway 3.  Traffic streaming past as there wasn't much to linger for, but clear cuts.

Leaving Seattle on the ferry for Bremerton
There was a shoulder, but not the widest one.  Most drivers tried to be courteous, but when ever they pulled out to give me extra space, they hit the rumble strip down the center of the road.  For several hours, I heard "thrump, thrump."  "Thrump, thrump."
