Seattle has the second-worst congestion and the third-worst traffic among 49 measured major metro areas, according to the report's findings.

Driving through the Puget Sound region is a notorious experience for commuters coming to and from work, and now aSeattle has the second worst congestion and the third worst traffic among 49 measured major metro areas, according to the report’s findings. Consumer Affairs evaluates traffic through levels of congestion, travel times and fatal crashes via the U.S. Census Bureau, Federal Highway Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Los Angeles ranked first with the worst congestion and traffic in the country. Washington D.C., San Francisco, New York, Denver, Portland, Atlanta, Chicago and Baltimore rounded out the top 10 in terms of traffic on the road. “It seems to be getting longer and longer,” Ursula Reutin, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show,” said. “Especially during the summer because that’s when all the construction happens. You can’t even get a rest from it on the weekends anymore.”, the average driver in Seattle lost 58 hours due to congestion in 2023, a 12-hour increase in traffic delay from 2022. That 12-hour difference was the highest increase of any metro area in the U.S.

Mike from Edmonds texted into “The Gee and Ursula Show” with a potential solution for traffic congestion: To give people financial incentives to live close to where they work or give them financial incentives to seek employment closer to where they live, contending that it would benefit both the environment and an employee’s well-being.
