Are there any existing SC's in urban/metropolitan setting? Say, within 15 miles from a major city.
I'd go for 'exit/entry routes' such as Mercer Island or Renton (I90) for East/South routes , just a few blocks off an exit.If it were up to me, I'd put it around Southcenter. Close to the junction of 5/405, the airport, hotels and dining. The Seattle service center seems like a terrible location due to traffic.
Definitely a trouble-spot in cold weather, especially in a 60.Centralia to Ellensburg is 172 miles plus a mountain pass.

My first thought when reading the first post was "December 163rd, 2014" as the most likely date.
I think this a "bandaid" SC because Centrailia to Ellensburg is 172 miles plus a mountain pass.
Also, while it's really close to I5 and I90, rush hours and game days make it a bit problematic. It's location will probably not lead to a lot of local usage though. I doubt I would ever charge there.
For the Centralia-Ellensburg route, the North Bend outlets would be a good place to consider nestling Supercharger bays. Centralia-NB is 94.5mi and NB-Ellensburg is 79.3mi. Tighter than the typical distance Tesla uses, but there's mountain passes involved. Would definitely lower the stress factor in bad weather.Yeah, nobody in their right mind who is trying to get from Centralia to Ellensburg is going to go through Seattle.
If I was traveling North-South using Centralia and Burlington, I would also avoid do my best to avoid Seattle.
...I'd prefer to see it near Bellevue if they could find a reasonable site.
Agree to disagree. When going from Centralia to Burlington, I go via 405 not the hell that is 5.It needs to stay on I-5 for use with Burlington and Centralia, plus if used as destination/quick turnaround for sporting and other events/meetings, Seattle is the only answer for North, South and East. Bellevue doesn't work for that. No need for all those people to go over the bridge if coming from north or south for events.

That's why North Bend makes lots for sense for the SC as people going from the south to I90 can avoid the CF that is Seattle area traffic (and I include BVue/Redmond in that zoo).
