Just two days ago, I took the ramp from North I-5 onto North I-705 in Tacoma. I'd never taken the ramp before and it offered a sweeping view of the entire underside of the interchange. I was struck by just how much empty space there was! And nearly all of it completely useless for any purpose other than to sit empty beneath the ribbons of concrete and asphalt 100 feet above.
