A simple query for all you West Seattleites. I'm leaving the U District at around 5pm tomorrow to go to Manchester State Park. Fauntleroy to Southworth seems to be the ferry to take, but from the West Seattle Bridge should I climb the West Seattle Hill or go around via Alki?

I won't be carrying my gear, so I'm not afraid of the hill, but it is Friday rush hour, so I'm willing to go the long way to skip any traffic insanity.

come up through Delridge, and up 26th- Brandon- 30th into Highpoint. There you can drop down Raymond or Morgan, and right into Southworth. This skips the crappy traffic of Avalon, and Fauntleroy (construction!) and as a bonus limits the steep climbing to a two block stretch, instead of the prolonged drudge up Avalon.

If you really want to drop the hammer and go all the way around, plan accordingly for traffic and wind.

To Fauntleroy at rush hour: over or around?
