What Abraham Don't Know About King County Road Plans
County commissioner Dan Abraham plans a book claiming public benefit from his road project near Renton linking Seattle to Tacoma. The Star editor and Washington Good Roads officials inspected the route, finding safety and cost issues amid a $40,000 county share and contractor demands of about $8,090 per mile. State Highway Commissioner Snow questioned funding and the project’s feasibility, delaying payments and delaying completion beyond next winter.
