Anyone who sees suspicious charges on their bill is asked to call WSDOT for a refund
Really? You know over 3300 drivers were charged double, but you don’t want to auto-refund those people? You expect people to contact you for a refund?
This is pure laziness, and lack of customer focus. If you cared about the commuter, you’d do the work to validate people were refunded. The company running the tolls should step up.

This is a beautiful road. I do get that all traffic funds don’t go towards pure congested areas.. If we need to send some to other areas, this is definitely worthwhile.
There is still fourteen miles of the Mountain Loop Highway along the Sauk River, that is not paved. It has long been a discussion to pave this final portion of the loop between Barlow Pass and the White Chuck River, but funds have been detoured every time. It seemed like a lost hope until the Oso Mudslide of March 22nd 2014

If you live in West Seattle, you have to be on your toes about traffic and transportation. A problem on the bridge can ruin your whole week.City council member Tom Rasmussen is hosting a meeting next week to find out what drivers think should be done to fix traffic in the area.
Sounds like you may want to attend this if you live in West Seattle. The bridge traffic is going to get significantly worse.. and it’s not good now.
