Driving On WA SR-161 South In 1998 (Edgewood, Puyallup)

Back in 1998, The Washington State Department of Transportation drove South on SR-161 and recorded video to document the highway. This was part of a project that photographed/videotaped the states highways every couple of years. This video now resides at The Washington State Archives who were kind enough to share it.

Right before or after Leo's I remember as a kid seeing an abandoned schoolbus in the woods.

I went to Seattle that September for my first & only Seahawk game there & it wasn't like this.

I'm glad this channel exists, it's the closest thing to a time machine we have to see Washington State before it sadly went downhill.
