State wants to increase I-405 tolls to at least $1, up to $15
OLYMPIA — Commuters using express lanes on I-405 between Lynnwood and Bellevue could see minimum tolls of $1, rising to as much as $15 at peak times, by next spring.
The Washington State Transportation Commission, at the request of the state Legislature, released proposed changes to toll rates on the I-405 toll lanes Wednesday. If approved by the commission in January, it would be the first change to the toll rates there in eight years.
The interstate’s current tolls range from $0.75 and $10. Prices rise when the lanes are close to capacity.
Along with the increased rates, the commission proposed extending the evening tolling time by one hour, until 8 p.m.
