WSDOT Good To Go! @goodtogo.wsdot.wa.gov · 6h
Good To Go! has four different kinds of passes that make paying for tolls easier and less expensive. All of them work on every toll road in Washington, but each pass serves a different purpose so you can pick which one works best for your situation.
A chart showing the different pass options and their associated costs. A sticker pass is $5 and only works to pay tolls, a Flex Pass is $15 and lets you pay tolls and carpool toll free on certain roadways, the Motorcycle pass is $8 and the License Plate Pass, which is for cars with special windshields, is $12.

JK. THE PAINT MAP IS BACK and Jimothy wants you to know there's a busy weekend ahead. Here's what happening: -I-5 express lanes will CLOSE 11p Fri(9/11) to 5a Mon(9/14) across the Ship Canal Bridge -The EB SR 520 off-ramp to Montlake Blvd will CLOSE 4:30p Sat(9/12) to 8a Sat(9/19)
A hand-drawn Paint Map for Sept. 11-14 displayed on a wooden easel. Jimothy the raccoon stands at the bottom holding a paintbrush, with a speech bubble that reads, “Who said Paint Maps were seasonal? WE’RE SO BACK!!!” The map is covered with playful drawings of geoducks representing weekend events, including Role Model, the Huskies, Weezer, Reign, BrickCon, the Mt. Baker Hill Climb and Washington State Fair. Orange signs point to major Puget Sound-area road closures. The previously planned southbound I-405 lane reductions and eastbound I-90 lane closures are crossed out and marked “CANCELED.” Raccoon paw prints and paint splatters surround Jimothy’s artwork.

My eye doc says I have bad depth perception, which makes me uniquely qualified to explain this photo. That rebar cage is headed ~200 feet below Portage Bay. Filled with concrete, it’ll become part of the future westbound bridge’s foundation. 🤯 📸More photos from above: flickr.com/photos/wsdot...
In this photo, a crane lowers what's known as a rebar cage inside a 12-foot diameter steel casing. Later, crews will pour concrete into the hole, forming one of the deep underground foundations for the future westbound Portage Bay Bridge. The two foundations shown in the photo each extend about 200 below the bottom of Portage Bay.
