Washington Highway 99 is a remnant of the great US 99, which once crossed the West Coast from border to border and was largely replaced by I-5. Washington 99 remains very much in 5's shadow, as its parent did in its waning days, but remains an important urban connection through (and now under) the heart of Seattle. It's an interesting road!
