Washington Highways
Washington Highway 99: State Highway 99 was formerly U.S. Highway 99 and has existed since June 25, 1969. It is a nearly 50 mile stretch of highway (48.97 miles) that runs from Fife to Everett with a 2.4 mile gap in Tukwila, Washington because the City of Tukwila took control of that chunk of the highway in the early 2000s (see this article) for road safety reasons. Between the Viaduct Tunnel and Everett, there are numerous businesses such as motels, restaurants, car dealerships, chain stores, and other small businesses. Because State Highway 99 has existed in some form since 1926, there are many historic places (officially recognized and unofficially) and objects such as the George Washington Memorial Bridge (Aurora Bridge), Woodland Park, Klose-In Motel Sign (currently in storage at MOHAI, and the Marco Polo Motel (one of the last places Kurt Cobain was seen alive).
