Route description
Originating at
Interstate 5 in Seattle at the north end of
Capitol Hill just south of Roanoke Park, it crosses Portage Bay on a viaduct, runs through the
Montlake neighborhood, and from there runs on a
causeway through the marshlands of the
Washington Park Arboretum and across Foster Island. It crosses
Lake Washington on the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge --at 7,578 feet, the longest
floating bridge in the world--to
Medina. From there, it separates
Hunts Point and
Yarrow Point to the north from
Clyde Hill to the south. Intersecting with
Interstate 405 in
Bellevue, it then runs through
Redmond, bisects the
Microsoft campus, crosses the
Sammamish River and Bear Creek, and ends at Avondale Road N.E.
