commuting distance

[walkitout]

There are a lot of people who regularly drive an hour each way most days of the week to go to work. There are a lot more people who take buses or similar an hour each way most days of the week to go to work. When I figured out walking distance for buying my condo, I took that number and turned it into how far I could walk in an hour and got 3 miles. But I'm having a helluva time finding anyone, anywhere, at any time or place, that regularly walked 3 miles each way to go to work.

Any ideas?

I used to walk from my condo to Pioneer Square

I was taking classes at Washington Academy of Languages. I tried a bunch of routes and going there was never a problem -- it was the coming back that sucked because of those hills. I'd also walk down to Pioneer Square to go out to a restaurant (and to Pike Place market, more often, and a variety of other places). To my mind, that was all walking distance, even on a cold and rainy night.
