It really doesn't, since often an end-to-end trip takes longer than just staying on I-5, especially if you have the express lanes in your direction. The section between Renton and Bellevue is almost always congested in both directions, whereas I-5 quickly clears up leaving the downtown merge zone.
It must have changed dramatically since when I lived there. I would run into traffic all the way from Lynnwood to Sea-Tac on I-5 whereas I-405 only bunched up between WA520 and I-90.
How long ago was that?
My typical afternoon drive into downtown is smooth until 145th or so, when the backup from the lost Northgate lane really forms. From there, it's pretty much bumper to bumper on I-5 (or I opt for the train, which is usually faster).

If a property is not used for at least 60 days of a calendar year, it immediately goes up for auction on January 1. ("Used" includes things like Airbnb as long as there's a customer.)

I think that was the now-banned user "snowc." If he hadn't been banned, I might have responded to this thread with, "Whatever one(s) snowc is overusing at the moment."
snowc isn't banned. At least, not by us.
That's interesting. For some reason I thought he was (and no, I'm not confusing him with tolbs17). Either way, he hasn't posted in almost two years. Maybe his parents took away his Internet access like he said they were threatening to do.
Quote from: roadman65 on May 06, 2024, 07:42:59 PMWade Avenue was originally I-40 before it got extended eastward. Although I-440 didn't exist then, it ended at US 1/64 then.
Why I bring this up is the same scenario with I-74 near Greensboro with part of an interstate being downgraded so it can be realigned to continue before its terminus.
I agree though, Wade Avenue should be numbered instead of having freeway with a non freeway street name. Even if it's an NC designation, it's an improvement.
