What does your s say on the TTP servers? You have the same problem.

Here(Government Building) I have a ping spike in a DFW level3 node from time to time.

At one house I have a ping spike/pl issue in an Atlanta level3 node.
Other house, I have a ping spike/pl issue in the Atlanta and the DFW level3 nodes.

Your largest ping increase is on the Level 3 fiber ring from Seattle to Denver (hop7 to hop8). This is expected.
You have a very brief increase in latency by 30 ms on the Comcast Seattle backbone (hop5)
You have another brief increase in latency by 40 ms on a Level 3 edge router. (hop11)

Keep in mind though, traceroutes stop being useful when the issue is intermittent.

This doesnt say much. Since you show no consistant lag.
You will need to
A) Test latency during your worst period of lag
B) Do a pathping test or ping plot along this host route to determine consistant sources of lag.
C) Test other hosts within the same area (similar routes) to see if its server peer related.

Even than there isn't much of anything you can do unless the problem is on premise (in your home), or on-net (within Comcast or first peer)
