Kinsley: For whom the bridge tolls

In Seattle, it's no longer true that, no matter how rich you are, there are some things — like traffic congestion — that you can't buy your way out of.

Two floating bridges across Lake Washington connect Seattle with its eastern suburbs. The roadbeds rest on huge pontoons and sway a bit as you drive across them on a windy day. One is the last gasp of Interstate 90 as it finishes its journey from Boston to the Puget Sound. The other is State Route 520, or "the 520," as it's known.
