I think you may be overestimating the distances here. It is 35 mins from downtown Seattle to the Boeing facility in Everett and 25 mins to Redmond.

Everett isn’t in Seattle, but considering it part of the metro area isn’t a stretch. You never leave dense burbs between the two.

You do, but it’s for a minute or two, if you don’t hit a traffic jam.

It’s hard to think of a traffic jam as being in a rural area.

Everett itself is farther north, but the turn to the factory and Paine field is before you hit town (but after you hit Everett speed traps)

It's interesting, I kinda buy the 'Everett is part of the Seattle metro' but I'd have said Marysville is not. But clearly it is, and my perception is wrong.

It’s an hour and a half in traffic.

On the other coast, you don’t leave dense burbs anywhere between Boston and DC. Therefore Boston is part of the NYC metro area.
