We take 599 on the way back from Renton sometimes--we took it often enough when we were in Beacon Hill that we no longer get lost on it!
Confession: I like to cut through Shorewood. It takes longer, but it's so pretty and the roads are bendy! (As I went to Shorewood Elementary, I learned that route young) So from Marine View Drive, I'd go east on 106th to 26th, go south and take a right on 116th, then a left on 28th, go left again when it joins up with Marine View Drive, hang a left on SW 122th, then left on Shorewood Drive, follow that until SW 131st, which turns into SW 130th, and then I take a right when I hit Ambaum.
That sounds way more complicated than it actually is, BTW. (And I've left off a lot of SWs there.)
(I'll also confess that I'd have probably cut over Gregory Heights to get to Normandy Park, but that's because I hate getting to Sylvester from Ambaum and also because I cut up through Gregory Heights from Normandy Park a lot when I was driving home from high school and didn't feel like going along Sylvester to get to Three Tree Point. Obviously, if I'm going to your place from Mom and Dad's or their place from West Seattle, I go Maplewild to get to them instead of Sylvester. Except after the 2001 quake. Maplewild was closed at 33rd for AGES after that.)
