Eyman's I-985 drives slowly in fast lane

The Sightline Institute, which produces an annual (and highly regarded) Cascadia Scorecard on livability trends in the Northwest, took a detailed look at I-985 and came to a startling conclusion. "All told, Sightline estimates that Initiative 985 would siphon about $180 million from the rest of the state into Greater Seattle -- or $229 for the average four-person family living outside of Greater Seattle -- through 2013," it concluded.
