Photo Op: Floating Bridges Across Lake Washington

Details:  There are several ways to get from Seattle to Bellevue and the East Side (of Lake Washington).
You can drive around Lake Washington to the north through Bothell.  You can drive around to the south through Renton.  Or, you can take on the floating bridges (I-90 or 520) and drive directly across.

I remember my dad and brother staging, and re-staging, a model train in our basement.  There were tracks, and trains, and bridges, and buildings, and switches, and all sorts of convoluted layouts.  It must have [...]
