Takes about 30 minutes, but this commute depends on the morning and evening commutes. Getting across the lake on I-90 or 520 bridges can add 10 or 15 minutes during rush hour. This map shows a few ways to get to the bridges, but there is another route to the 520 bridge that goes along Lake Washington Blvd. that is quite scenic and avoids highway traffic. However, 520 is a toll bridge and may cost $2.50-$5.00 per crossing. There is no toll booth, a bill is sent, or you can get a Good To Go Pass (we can explain).
