* A [http://transit.metrokc.gov bus, BRT], [http://www.soundtransit.org express bus, light rail or train] out to a suburb (Bus 594 will take you to Lakewood, which is decent when going south. Federal Way is another opportunity. Going north? Everett is good as well) and try to hitchhike from there. [[User:AdventureSauce| AdventureSauce]] got a ride from Federal Way in November 2011 in less than 30 minutes. Great ramp. Good traffic. 5.50$ to get out there on a bus and the light rail. This is the most common way out, since hitchhiking out of big cities is not popular. However, trying to hitchhike out of a low-income or high-crime suburb or city (such as Tacoma or White Center) may be even harder than hitchhiking out of Seattle city-proper.  There are exceptional on-ramps to I-5 in the University District, from within Seattle. [[User:amylin| amylin]] got a ride from Seattle to [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]] from the on-ramp to I-5 South at NE 45th St & 5th Ave. There is a busy intersection at this point, in which vehicles stop and make turns onto the on-ramp, from 3 directions. The space for cars to pullover is not the best, depending on the amount of parked cars. The onramp going North at this same location is also recommended, and many hikers use it to get to [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]] (There is also a Vancouver, Washington. To minimize confusion all road signs for Vancouver, British Columbia are labeled "Vancouver, B.C."). The only drawback to this location is that there are frequently homeless people, who beg for food or money, nearby, and drivers may be reluctant to pick up hitchhikers in the presence of so many "unpresentable" people  On Mercer Street and Fairview, cars are coming from three different directions and there are stoplights. They're either going south or north. The cars coming from the opposite direction of the freeway can pull over on a very small parking area. We got a ride to Portland in about 10 minutes with a sign.  Northto Vancouver: you can take bus 510 or 512 from the downtown (4th & Pike, 4th & Union, 6& Olive way, University district) for 3.75$ all the way to Everett. Takes about one hour. From Everett main station you need to walk for about 15-20min until the on-ramp to I-5 (on Everett Ave). Pretty good spot, there's a shoulder for cars to stop, enough traffic coming in.

If you're heading South on I-5 [[User:Matt&camy| Matt&camyOregon]] tried another option. * On Mercer Street and Fairview, cars are coming from three different directions and there are stoplights. They're either going south or north. The cars coming from the opposite direction of the freeway can pull over on a very small parking area. We got is a ride state where it is legal to Portland in about 10 minutes with a signwalk on the highway.
