The Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge is the second longest floating bridge in the world, at 6,620 feet (2,019 meters).
Formerly known as the "Lake Washington Floating Bridge", the original bridge included a movable span that could be retracted into a pocket in the center of the fixed span to permit large boats to pass.
However, on November 25, 850 meters of the bridge sank, ironically dumping the contaminated water into the lake along with tons of bridge material.

What makes Seattle seem so wet is the cloudiness that predominates from about late October well into spring, sometimes clear into July, and that most precipitation falls as light rain, not snow or heavy storms.
Transportation to and from the east is via Interstate 90's Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge and Washington State Route 520's Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, both over Lake Washington.
Those bridges are the two longest floating bridges in the world.
