The address you posted is not "Downtown", it is Ballard. Driving from Ballard to Downtown could be a bear. First, you have to cross Ballard Bridge, which is a draw bridge. It can slow you down for 5 minutes or so. Next, you have 15th Ave. which is somewhat of a speed trap, ranging from 35 mph to 45 mph (it might be 40 mph). Traffic on 15th can be very congested and slow. Once you get Downtown, 15 merges onto Denny Way, and from Denny Way you can turn off onto whatever street you need to get all the way Downtown. Once Downtown, traffic can be pretty bad and the lights are not as synchronized as one would hope. All in all, I would say 15 minutes on a good day, 30 on a not so good day.
Ballard is a nice old neighborhood that has a Scandinavian heritage. It used to have a lot of older people, but recently it has become a younger, more hip area. Prices are going up as well.
