Here's a tip for all you wonderful, hard working drivers *smile* In King County (Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond/Kirkland etc.) all AVENUES run north and south. All STREETS run east and west. And all even #s are on the east side of the street. To find your cross street : Take the last two numbers off the address (these are building/lot/house numbers). What you have left is the "cross street". In the example below if you take off the last two (33) you'll find that the cross street is 132nd. If there's only 2 numbers in the address it means it's down on the water front. (This works great in Washington State but I've found that the southern states are "something" else when it comes to "logic" in their numbering of streets/addresses/exits.) To find your address see the example below. First you'll see the directions as I have them in my book then you'll see a longer explanation WITHOUT the symbols. I think you'll get the idea.

(Bellevue Redmond Road) > left onto 132nd > right onto 16th LONGER explanation without symbols: Taking I-405 go to exit #14. This is Hwy. 520. Go East on Hwy. 520.
