I wouldn't call WA gas cheap. It's among the highest prices I've seen on our out-west trip this year.
I will agree the situation at Deception Pass is a mess. There are a lot of free parking spots along the road, but idiots sit blocking traffic waiting for an empty spot. The single tiny parking lot is really stupid. The county/ state needs to put police officers out there to make them keep the traffic moving.
Maybe the OP can make it an issue the next time the sheriff comes up for election.
Lucky for us, yesterday we were headed east on US-2 across Stevens Pass. I did comment to the wife about the westbound bumper to bumper traffic all the way from Monroe to Goldbar.
There needs to be some road building - but it is really expensive/ hard with the mountains, islands and rivers. They could spend $100 billion around Puget Sound and the Cascades and residents wouldn't notice much of an improvement.
US-2 should be four lanes all the way, and likely six lanes from Sultan to I-5
Whidbey Island - new bridges would cost close to a billion dollars.
