Agree on all counts. Back to discussing BMW’s.

Looks like a fun roundabout. You know the one thing I don't see though that you see at pretty much every roundabout in the EU? Signs! I can't imagine trying to navigate that from out of town without GPS. I used to live in Mill Creek, and Snohomish, and most recently Bremerton before I moved to Spain. Even the roundabouts in the Port Orchard area had signs. What happened here?

Even the roundabouts in the South Sound Covington or even further South in Lacey nea4 the Cabelas have people confused. Nice to see a few other WA folks on here.

It seems that Lake Stevens didn’t think about it. This is Highway 9 in Washington which will eventually become highway 12 in British Columbia. There is a border crossing, so it’s not just local traffic. Definitely an oversight.
