THE DEADLIEST HIGHWAY IN WASHINGTON

Here is a tip to the wise, avoid I-5 whenever you can. It is always chock full of traffic, and typically, it’s for no good reason. I used to have this theory that people created traffic with their minds (that theory might be a little too "woo-woo" for you). I've always said, if we want to avoid getting stuck on the freeway for hours upon end, then just freaking DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT. It’s a wild concept, I know, right? Some of the main causes of these deadly car crashes are people driving either too slow or too fast and creating unnecessary bottlenecks!

I-5 has consistently for years been the #1 deadliest highway in Washington, but do you know the most deadly roadway in the state?
