road work that never seems to get much of anything done. Unfortunately, we've
got our share of those up here in Seattle too, Kevin. The never-ending projects
that take inexplicable years rather than the expected weeks or even months. Years

Construction on I-405 in Washington started in 1956 as part of the federal Interstate
Highway system. A 30 mile stretch of highway services commuters on the east
side of Lake Washington.
The first section opened in 1961 with all sections opened by 1971. It constantly
been under construction/rework since it opened.
Based on the pace of work and the list of planned and funded projects, everything
should be completed in 2120.

Coon skin caps, horses, flintlocks, and farms. We were at peace with the natives.
