The most traveled to destinations in Seattle for 2017 are:
- Most visited event space: Safeco Field
- Most visited restaurant: Art Marble 21
- Most visited bar: Fremont Brewing
- Most visited University: University of Washington
Lyft notes that one common location that riders keep visiting — that is only in Seattle — is Pike Place Market. Another “trending location” is Nordstrom.
“Lyft has helped us grow by making it easy to enjoy our tasting room and get home safely,” said Sara Nelson, Fremont Brewing Co-Founder/Owner.
Rideshares can be quite convenient, taking into account the hassle of parking and traffic in the Emerald City. In fact, the form of transportation is projected to replace private car ownership — and the need for most parking — because the option is far cheaper than owning a car. Some experts predict they will take over the bulk of travel by 2030, others say it will happen by 2037. The Washington State Transportation Commission is already considering options to transform I-5 into a driverless-only freeway.
