I don't remember knowing what the transit options were back when you were in Kent, but these days there's a big old Sounder train stop in the old downtown that runs up to Seattle in 30 minutes, and supposedly there's an express bus to the U District that takes about 45 minutes -- which, really, is no worse off than I am now, and probably slightly better. Certainly for a straight car commute Kent is closer than Everett, so I don't imagine it's any suckier.
