The Alaskan Way Viaduct runs between Downtown Seattle and the Waterfront, but it's an old highway and there's a 1 in 20 likelihood that an earthquake could shut it down within the next decade. After years of discussion and inaction, local politicians have finally decided to replace the viaduct with a tunnel. There were a number of options proposed and this is one of the most expensive ones, but it should make the area by the waterfront much nicer.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

But then you lose the cool freeway right beside downtown and the water where you can see all the streets and stuff at a higher altitude. Oh well.
