Washington toll tunnel
The SR 99 Tunnel[3]located beneath downtown Seattle, serves as a passage for SR 99 traffic. Toll rates for using the tunnel vary depending on the time of day, with lower rates during the night and weekends. The tolls are collected from vehicles traveling in both directions upon exiting the tunnel. For vehicles lacking a Good to Go! An additional $2 fee is applied to each toll. The accepted payment methods for tolls are Good to Go and Pay By Mail. Toll rates change based on time of day, with lower toll rates on nights and weekends. Tolls are collected in both directions as you exit the tunnel. Vehicles without a Good To Go! account pay an extra $2 per toll.
