It can — significantly. Northbound I-5 from Kent toward Seattle backs up between 7 and 9 AM, and the SR-167/I-5 interchange in Kent is a known bottleneck. For field trips departing during morning rush hour, build in a 30- to 45-minute buffer.
Scheduling your departure before 7 AM or after 9 AM makes the run to destinations like the Museum of Flight and Woodland Park Zoo noticeably smoother for your whole group.
