No emergency exits - not even emergency lanes like other high priced tunnels - that's part of the problem too

Nice work by WSDOT, playing the hand they were dealt. Too bad they will have to deal with the problems occasioned by the selection of the "Tunnel Option" by non-professionals. The Viaduct replacement plan made so much sense!

How do you get out??? I will never use this tunnel and I'm hoping just to spite the government that no one else does, let them bore it and then fill it back up!

I want to know where the off ramp just BEFORE it is...? Highly seismically active area, a tunnel bored out through SAND, not to mention a tunnel NO ONE WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! You can bet I'll be on 1st or 2nd (depending on which direction I'm heading) to get to my destination.

This is an impressive simulation, but I want to know where the emergency exits are. Did not see any in the entire run. Hope there will be some in the final configuration or I will never travel on it.
