Jeff, I don't have a lot of Seattle driving experience, but I lived in Portland for a year. And I found (my to my pleasant surprise) that people actually were fairly polite in traffic. You put your signal on, people will let you in. Maybe not everyone, but certainly more often than not. Granted, I also found Portland drivers to be pretty slow (people actually drive the speed limit or less on the highways). But that was a tradeoff my leadfoot was willing to tolerate, for the lowering of stress that came from driving in a more polite environment.

edit: heh heh. I get it, now.
