A useful mobility picture starts with destinations. Here, resident job locations are read alongside the amount of scheduled transit in the home city. The data cannot yet tell us door-to-door travel time or whether a route serves a particular commute.
51% of resident jobs captured in the commute data point to Seattle, the city’s largest single work destination.
For someone considering a move to Shoreline, the trip to Seattle is a more useful test than a citywide transit total.
65% of resident jobs captured in the commute data are also located in Seattle.
That can reduce the need to cross city lines, but whether the trip is short—or possible without a car—still depends on where homes and jobs sit within the city.
Seattle is its largest work destination, while the home city has about 8.082 weekday departures per 10,000 residents.
A household comparing Bonney Lake should look closely at the actual route to Seattle; the regional connection is important, but the service count alone cannot show whether it works.
Comparing vehicle access with scheduled departures shows where transit supply is most consequential. It still cannot show whether a route reaches the right destination, runs at the right time, or carries many riders.

Every city profile includes planning ranges from representative starting areas to selected work destinations, airports, state parks, recreation, and popular places. These are broad planning estimates—not observed averages or guarantees for a particular address and departure time.
