Seattle Area Bridges, Washington State

The third and longest floating bridge close to Seattle is The Governor Albert D. Rosselini (Evergreen Point) Floating Bridge.

There is a fourth floating bridge in the Seattle area, namely the Hood Canal Floating Bridge across Puget Sound, northwest of Seattle.

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is the replacement for the famous earlier suspension bridge which collapsed due to resonance. The replacement is also a suspension bridge.

Many thanks to Steven Arnold who supplied not only the detailed information for this entry, but also the excellent photograph (29KB) of two of the floating bridges.
