Reply to comment by bakarac in I've driven up and down I-5 100 times since 2014. here's some fun facts about to know by KanyeWaste69

It’s a choke point, there’s no real access between Lacey and Lakewood without getting on I-5 or going around JBLM through Yelm/Roy (or cutting through a water tower lot in an HOA). Any backups or slowdowns get magnified. If everything is working right, there’s no issues, if there’s an issue, there’s no relief (even cutting through the base may not be much help, if you have access)

I wish Olympia is still as beautiful as when I was younger. I didn't even recognize it by the time I left. The last place I lived was over by capital city golf course in Lacey, that was a pretty nice area that was still low key.

It's a very nice area but building Horizon Pointe caused so much traffic in the area it's a pain in the ass to get anywhere during the day.
