Wow! Almost 30 years ago. Watched until Exit 168B. Didn't notice any visible graffiti on the bridge supports, walls or traffic signs. Also, the shoulders of the interstate looked almost pristine without the trash, tires and car parts. Lastly, not a single homeless camp visible. To end on a positive note: The Seattle skyline did appear to have smog hanging over it, so potentially our air is healthier to breath these days. So, we've got that going for us.
19:53 When I was younger, I saw Winner's Restaurant, Cucina Cucina Italian Cafe, and Tony Romas logos on this food logo sign. I love looking back at old memories. That was before I was born.
Interesting to see how a few areas along this stretch had changed, but much of it stayed the same compared to the '83 video (namely, hi, Convention Center, and so long, Longacres).
Speed Limit 55. Id almost forgotten about those days. The funny thing is I-5 was designed for a 75 mph speed limit except in a few places. People were such selfish drivers, the speed limit was set at 55 in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Also: we used to have Rest Area/Stops all over this country. So many have been closed because big business lobbied for the privatization of Rest Stops and now they are for profit. Washington still holds onto the Rest Areas so far... but privatization will arrive.
Mighty light traffic by today's standard!
These are the cars of MY childhood. Love it love it!! Wanna see more early to mid 90s freeway vids!!

That's not smog. That is just the leftover fog that Seattle would get that time of year.

That 55 in work zone LMAO! It’s been that way since the 90s
The old is useless. Thank you so much indeed for sharing about the great work about the beautiful past .

My daily commute home in 95. I actually looked for my old rusty Suburban haha
46:16 Toyota entering has been the most Aggresive driver i've seen in the video
Probably Jerry.
Aside from the construction differences on either side, the freeway itself isn't that much different. I don't know if I should be surprised or not.
I know this is highway videos but any chance of footage on 220th in edmonds or any in mountlake terrace?
Unfortunately not. The WSDOT project was limited to highways throughout the state.
Where's all the graffiti? Where are all the homeless tents? Why is everybody driving so politely? All the foliage looks healthy.
