Before the Lake Washington Floating Bridge was built across Lake Washington in 1940, SR 900 was one of the major roads east from Seattle, taking US 10 and Primary State Highway 2 around the south side of the lake. It had been established by the legislature as a State Highway in 1909,[1] and PSH 2 was completed for through traffic in 1915 (the last section being east of SR 900, through Snoqualmie Pass).[2] The opening of the bridge in 1940 moved US 10/PSH 2 to the direct route, and the old alignment became Alternate US 10 and PSH 2 RE (for Renton). In 1955,[3] Alternate US 10 was dropped, and it became SR 900 in 1964. Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge (right), looking east toward Mercer Island The Lacey V.
