As a Student pilot I always wanted to visit the Boeing Future of Flight tour in Everett.

We will arrive at SEA around 11:30am.
As we both have Global Entry, immigration should not be a problem.
We would have plenty of time to get a rental car and drive to Everett.

We´d go for the 3pm tour, which lasts around 90 minutes and have then get back to SEA. Our flight to SFO will depart at 8:05pm.

Will it (usually) work out to get from Everett back to SEA in max 2 hours during busy traffic hours 5pm - 7pm?

Has anyone done this visit in this short time?
Would it be better to go on the I-405 or the I-5?

Thanks for your thoughts!

You should be fine. I would expect 405 to be faster because you'll have access to the carpool lane with 2 passengers in the vehicle.
