Exactly one month ago, Seattlest told you about the fastest speeder ever clocked on I-5 at a whopping 164 mph. The driver of the speeding motorcycle, Ben Howard Kelly, was arrested on I-5, but claimed he had digital camera footage of his record-setting and law-breaking ride. Seattlest commenter Romulus led the cry for video proof of the incident saying, "He taped himself doing it. The people demand YouTubage!" Well, dear commenter, you ask and you......

But starting next year, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) may be intentionally slowing down drivers on I-5 in hopes that it will ease traffic. The $25 million dollar project will focus on a six-mile stretch of I-5 where......

We can't decide if this story is more straight out of a Dr. Strangelove-esque world or National Lampoon's road-trip vacation post 9/11, so we'll let you be the judge. In response to a fear of "dirty bombs" being smuggled in from Canada, Homeland Security has been monitoring I-5 for radioactive materials.
