I-90 is also the only highway in [[Washington]] to connect the two largest cities in the state ([[Seattle, Washington|Seattle]] and [[Spokane, Washington|Spokane]]). The road is the third busiest in the [[Washington|state]], behind [[Interstate 5 in Washington|I-5]] at 240,000 and [[Interstate 405 (Washington)|I-405]] at 201,000. An estimated 148,000 motorists utilize the road daily.

I-90 incorporates two of the longest [[floating bridge]]s in the world, the [[Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge]] and the [[Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge]], which cross [[Lake Washington]] from [[Seattle, Washington|Seattle]] to [[Mercer Island, Washington]]. They are the second and fifth longest such bridges, respectively.
