My new commute (starting next week) is going to have me on Novelty Hill Rd. and Avondale Rd. I'm more worried on foggy mornings if I take the MUP that I'm gonna run into a ninja jogger in the fog.
That's a lot different than semi-urban riding across Bellevue with cars pulling into/out of parking lots every 50 feet. Lots of fun stuff happens around the traffic lights too.
It's been nearly 20 years since I've ridden 202. It used to be a very pleasant country road. Ditto for Novelty and Union hills. I used to ride out there and through Carnation as a teenager. Novelty Hill doesn't have a shred of its identity left but the road still looks sane.
