This metal tile that I found under my feet while I was at the Westlake Center plaza in downtown Seattle, poses a question. It is one that a Seattle resident should be able to answer (or at least guess) easily : What is the longest floating bridge in the world? (Side comment .. shouldn’t the question have said ‘WHERE is the longest floating bridge in the world?). Answer : In Seattle, of course. Well, between Seattle and Redmond. So that the Microsofties can get across Lake Washington. Here is a post I made long ago SR 520 showing what a cross-section of the bridge will look like once the renovations and expansion to it is complete, scheduled for 2015.
