Why mobile LED works in Seattle
Seattle is hemmed in by water on both sides, which forces an enormous amount of traffic through a small number of routes. I-5 through the city, the SR-99 tunnel and the bridges across Lake Washington carry nearly everything, and all of them back up predictably. For mobile LED, a constrained network is an advantage: you know exactly where the audience will be.
The technology sector defines the daytime audience. South Lake Union, downtown and Bellevue hold a dense, well-paid, highly educated population that is difficult to reach through traditional broadcast and increasingly ad-blocked online. Street-level presence in those specific blocks is a practical answer.
Seattle’s downtown core is also genuinely walkable, from Pike Place through the retail core to the waterfront, which gives a truck pedestrian exposure on top of vehicle traffic.

Seattle events worth owning

- Cruise season sailings from the waterfront (May–September)

Cruise season adds a large, concentrated visitor audience to the waterfront between May and September, arriving and departing on a fixed weekly schedule. It is one of the more predictable targeting opportunities in the market.
Routing notes for Seattle
Seattle routing exploits the bottlenecks. Because geography forces traffic onto a few routes, dwell time on those routes is reliably high.
- Commuter windows run 6:30–9:30am and 3:30–7:00pm and are severe on I-5 and Mercer
- Downtown lunch routing works well given the walkable retail core
- Capitol Hill evening routing is strongest Thursday through Saturday
- Stadium routing covers the SoDo approach on game days
- Bridge routing produces captive audiences during peak backups
