When considering the alternatives

Seatac (currently spilling over onto Paine) and VIA are bursting at the seems and need their precious space for international travel. Widening I-5 is becoming more and more onerous. Just look at what it has taken to get a single 100 year old bridge (CRC) replaced. They're going to be into it at 4 billion by the time it ever gets built. And with land restrictions and the Northwest's propensity for regular flooding I don't see them adding much more in lane capacity to I-5.
