| | | | Yeah, that's the real rub when trying to get around nowadays, the perpetual
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
of tying up the daily commute of thousands.

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.

Right about when roads are no longer used, and anti-gravity crafts are the thing

(I grew up 1/4 mile from I-405 in Lynnwood. Played on it before the Woodinville
to Lynnwood section opened.)

Very cool story. As a transplant to the Seattle area, I'm trying to imagine
how it was for you in a more rural Lynnwood

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

Hey now! I had a coonskin hat as a kid. My dad got it for me at Disneyland. One
of those great memories, our time at Disneyland just he and I. At the start of
the day, he asked me to think about what one souvenir I'd like, and at the
end of day he'd buy it for me. I already knew and was bursting all day to
tell him...
By the way, I really did appreciate your pm to me last night, describing you
and your family in Lynnwood back then. Really enjoy hearing how things were,
especially in a place we now call home. To learn from someone firsthand is the
by far the best way! So thanks again for sharing
