Seattle route info
So I just moved to Sand Point but I still work on the hill (Pike&Summit) I live right on the Burke Gilman so getting over to the bridges is no problem, I just need some options on easier ways up the hill, Ive taken 10th or whatever it is that runs by the freeway which is a looong hill and Ive done Eastlake to downtown which isnt too bad, also Ive heard of some way using Interlaken. Any help would be greatly appreciated

U-Bridge to Eastlake and take a left on Lynn. Take a right onto Boylston. Go under the I-5 on Lakeview. When Lakeview meets Belmont, go *straight* (it's a dead end for cars but there's a short trail that will take you to Melrose). Melrose to Pine/Pike and you're home free.
I do the reverse of this from Pine to the U-Bridge every day on the way home.
Here's the Melrose shot of downtown from the "show your roll" thread.
