“If all goes well for you, traveling Interstate 90 is a beautiful evergreen experience. However, on this most dangerous stretch of the state’s major east-west corridor, numerous accidents will inevitably occur, and when they do, the medical response capacity is limited.”

Washington State Secretary of Transportation 1993 –2001 
U.S. Congress, Washington State’s 4th District 1981 – 1993
