Only upon the right-hand roadway
Couldn't be simpler:
Per the local paper, Seattle Municipal Code 11.53.080 states that "every vehicle shall be driven only upon the right-hand roadway unless directed or permitted to use another roadway by official traffic-control devices or peace officers."
This means you have to drive all the way around traffic circles on the proper side of the roadway, just like any other driving situation. A logical, simple, un-misinterpretable rule.

Fair weather
I found my short-sleeved self at quarter to six this evening in the rear of an eighteen-member peloton stopped at a light. I pulled over at the next light and watched another group of bikers stack up and surge forward, and yet another. I thought:
1. Way to go, everybody.
2. Come one, come all, racer and clunker, kiddies and sporties and fat guys. Come on and ride.
3. See you in January?
