Seattle has made #9 on the list of 10 most congested cities by Inrix, a private traffic data collector. This may not be a surprise to anyone who frequents I-90 during rush hour, but is good indicator that we really should start thinking ahead to help solve this problem.

The full list of most congested cities is:

1. Los Angeles, California
2. New York, New York
3. Chicago, Illinois
4. Dallas, Texas
5. Washington, DC
6. Houston, Texas
7. San Francisco, California
8. Boston, Massachusetts
9. Seattle, Washington
10. Minneapolis, Minnesota

For those keeping score, Seattle has also been recently named the most literate city on the country and the 3rd most favorite city.
