Surprisingly, a new four-lane freeway in east King County wouldn't do much for congestion on the Eastside: only an estimated 3,000 cars a day would shun I-405 to use the route by the year 2020.

I-605 is envisioned as a high-speed freeway with few interchanges to slow truckers or drivers on long trips between Everett and Tacoma.
