The Alleged I-605
Back in 2000, here's what was reported about the possibility of an I-605 being built:
"Another WSDOT released study in 2000 suggested an I-605 beltway that stretched roughly from Tacoma through the Snoqualmie Valley and then to Everett would pull an estimated 29,000 cars off of Interstate 5. But the state never acted on the idea, instead focusing on other ways to relieve congestion on I-5.  The idea drew such opposition that the King County Council eventually amended the county's comprehensive plan to specifically forbid such a roadway from cutting through the area."

Is it, therefore, accurate to portray the road is going to be built when it is obvious that it isn't?
