How to use the Seattle hub

Pick the other city and the guide does the rest: three meeting towns, both drive splits, detours, and estimated hotel counts. The two biggest draws are halfway between Seattle and New York — meet in Fargo, about 19 h 46 from Seattle — and halfway between Seattle and Houston (meet in Rifle, 15 h 08 out). For a long haul, Seattle to Miami runs an estimated 45 h 15 across 2895.5 mi, with a first meeting town at Salina.

Common questions

How is halfway from Seattle computed?
We place the halfway point where each driver has used half of the total drive time, then rank nearby towns by split fairness, detour, size, and hotel supply. All 149 guides from Seattle use the same estimated drive-time model, so numbers are comparable across pairs.
What is the most central city to meet someone from Seattle?
Tacoma — the meeting town Everett, WA is about 48 min from Seattle and 1 h 34 from Tacoma, the smallest longest-leg of any pair from Seattle.
What is the longest drive with a halfway guide from Seattle?
Miami, at an estimated 45 h 15 and 2895.5 mi one way — the guide's first meeting town is Salina, KS.
Can I meet two people from Seattle at once?
The pair guides split one pair of cities. For three starting points, test midpoints in the calculator or plan a multi-stop route with the stop planner.
