Interstate 405 (I-405) is a north–south auxiliary Interstate Highway in the U.S. state of Washington. It bypasses Seattle east of Lake Washington and serves the Eastside area of King and Snohomish counties, including the cities of Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, and Bothell. The 30-mile (48 km) freeway terminates at I-5 in Tukwila and Lynnwood. I-405 also intersects several major highways, including SR 167, I-90, SR 520, and SR 522.
I-405 is known for its congestion and its meandering "S-curves" through Renton. It intersects with Interstate 90 and a number of major state routes. Interstate 405 was laid over Secondary State Highway 2A.

Route description[edit]
I-405 begins as a continuation of Washington State Route 518 (SR 518) at the junction with Interstate 5 in Tukwila and almost immediately after the change to I-405, a High-occupancy vehicle lane begins, and continues to almost the end of the highway. The freeway continues on an easterly path, passing the newly renovated Westfield Southcenter shopping mall and crossing the Green River before approaching an interchange with SR 181. After the exit, the former Longacres race track, now owned by Boeing,[3] and new Sounder commuter rail station for Tukwila is passed, and I-405 starts to head north-east towards a cloverleaf interchange with SR 167 and Rainier Avenue, which is the first exit in Renton. After the interchange with SR 167, the freeway, after a series of infamous s-curves, which become a traffic bottleneck during rush hour,[4] turns to a northerly direction and intersects SR 169 and one direction of SR 900. A hybrid diamond interchange/partial cloverleaf interchange serves the other direction of SR 900 and the Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park and a new development called The Landing.
Climbing Kennydale Hill,[4] I-405 intersects N 30th St and Kennewick Place NW, which serves north Renton, and Kennydale, before quickly descending to another hybrid diamond/partial cloverleaf interchange with NE 44th Street, which provides access to Newcastle. I-405 now closely follows Lake Washington, and enters a wooded section until an interchange with Lake Washington Boulevard and 112th Ave SE which serves both a park and ride station and the community of Newport Hills. The final interchange before I-90 is a diamond interchange serving Coal Creek Parkway.
I-405 heading into downtown Bellevue
Factoria Mall is east of I-405 as it approaches a full stack interchange with Interstate 90 which provides access to Seattle, Mercer Island, as well as the Eastgate neighborhood of Bellevue and Issaquah. Mercer Slough is west of I-405 as it heads towards downtown Bellevue. A 2008 construction project demolished the Wilburton Tunnel which formerly covered a portion of the freeway between Factoria and Bellevue.[5]
The historic Wilburton Trestle passes I-405 as a diamond interchange with SE 8th Street connects the freeway to South Bellevue and the Lake Hills area. In quick succession is a short diamond interchange with NE 4th Street, a full cloverleaf with NE 8th Street, serving downtown Bellevue and Overlake Medical Center, and an HOV only left exit to the Bellevue Transit Center and NE 6th Street. SR 520 which provides access to Medina and Redmond, home of the Microsoft Corporation is the next interchange, with a half cloverleaf interchange with several fly-over ramps to allow complete access to and from SR 520.
Bridle Trails State Park borders the freeway on the east side, while Watershed Park and Northwest University are on the western side of the freeway as it approaches NE 70th Place, serving Houghton and Snyders Corner before approaching a full cloverleaf with former SR 908 serving Kirkland. An incomplete interchange with NE 116th Street comes before I-405 connects to Totem Lake via an interchange with NE 124th Street and an HOV only left exit to the Evergreen Hospital and NE 128th Street. NE 160th Street is the next interchange before I-405 crosses over the Sammamish River and connects to SR 522 which provides access to downtown Bothell and Woodinville. An interchange with NE 195th Street provides access to the local business park and the University of Washington Bothell branch.
I-405 in Snohomish County
Entering Snohomish County at mile post 25, I-405 enters a wooded area before coming to an interchange with the Bothell-Everett Highway (SR 527), which is the final interchange before I-405 terminates at an interchange between Interstate 5 and SR 525.[6]
As of 2007, the most heavily traveled section of I-405 is near SE 8th Street in downtown Bellevue, with a daily average of 200,000 cars per day traveling through this segment.[7] This number was slightly lower in 1997, with 190,000 cars per day,[8] but has dramatically increased since the first measurement in 1967, with 32,600 cars per day traveling through Bellevue.[9]
History[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2008)
The first road connecting most of the eastside communities, Secondary State Highway 2A (SSH 2A),[10] was already in existence since at least 1927. SSH 2A connected US 10 and US 410 in Renton to the north, through Kirkland and Bothell, connecting back to US 99 in Everett.[11] In 1964, the system of Primary and Secondary state highways was removed in favor of signed routes, and PSH 2A was renumbered SR 405. The first segment of the interstate to be completed was between Tukwila and Renton, opening to traffic on August 31, 1965.[12] By 1971, SR 405 was renumbered to Interstate 405 after it was completely improved to Interstate Highway standards.[citation needed]
One of the major construction projects on the highway was straightening the s-curves in Renton. This project began in 1990, and was estimated to cost $70 million. Also during this time the portion of the highway between I-5 and South Renton was being repaved and HOV lanes were being added.[13]
On September 27, 2015, a set of high-occupancy toll lanes (HOT lanes) opened on I-405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood, replacing the existing HOV lanes from NE 6th Street to I-5/SR 525.[14][15]
Future[edit]
Originally intended as a bypass to I-5 through Seattle, I-405 has experienced a large increase in traffic volume since its construction. I-405 is now the most congested freeway in Washington State, particularly the segment between State Route 169 and I-90.[16]
Currently underway is the Nickel Project, which in 2003 originally included three planned improvements for I-405:[17]
The construction of one lane in each direction between SE 8th and I-90, replacing the Wilburton Tunnel.
The construction of one northbound lane from NE 70th to NE 124th, and one southbound lane from SR 522 to SR 520.
The construction of one northbound lane from SR 181 to SR 167, and one southbound lane from SR 169 to SR 167.
In 2005, the "Renton to Bellevue Project" was added as part of the Nickel Project,[18] and would have added two lanes in each direction between SR 169 and I-90. However, in November 2007, voters rejected the ballot measure which would have provided the additional funds necessary for this project. At this time the project is still largely unfunded.[16] The web site "Road to Ruin" ranks the widening of I-405 as the fourth most wasteful highway project in the United States. The project is designed to help traffic move smoother on I-405.[19]
A bus rapid transit line is proposed for nearly the entire length of I-405 as part of the Sound Transit 3 ballot measure.

"What Goes Around.../...Comes Around (Interlude)" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Justin Timberlake for his second studio album, FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timbaland, and Danja. The song was said by Timberlake to be about betrayal and forgiveness, and was described by some music critics as a "sequel" to his 2002 single "Cry Me a River". The song received generally positive reviews from music critics.
The song was retitled "What Goes Around... Comes Around" for its December 19, 2006, release as the third single from FutureSex/LoveSounds. It became Timberlake's third consecutive number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally the song was also successful, reaching the top ten in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, and Australia. The song was later certified two-times platinum in Australia, gold in the United States and gold in New Zealand. The song won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards, where it also received a nomination for Record of the Year.
The Samuel Bayer-directed music video for "What Goes Around... Comes Around" was released February 7, 2007. Actress Scarlett Johansson plays Timberlake's love interest in the video. The video received the award for Best Direction at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards and was also nominated for Video of the Year.

Production[edit]
Justin Timberlake on a piano while singing "What Goes Around..."
When Timberlake began working on FutureSex/LoveSounds at Timbaland's studio in Virginia Beach, Virginia,[1][2] they had no idea of what the album would be like with no plan for it or even a title.[2] He told his collaborators to do a remake of his previous single, "Cry Me a River".[2] Danja, a protégé of Timbaland, stated: "We had no direction at all other than 'Cry Me a River,' and not in the sense of mimicking the track, but in how big the song was. There was no direction for how he wanted the song to sound, because there was no direction for how he wanted [his album FutureSex/LoveSounds] to sound."[2]
The song was written and produced by Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, and Nate "Danja" Hills. While in the studio, the three men were just "fooling around" and "freestyling".[2] When Danja began playing a guitar riff, it caught Timberlake's attention. Timberlake started humming to the melody, and then the lyrics came. Timbaland, who was at his keyboards beside Danja, added drums to the melody. Danja commented that "everything was coming together at the same time".[2] After coming up with the music, Timberlake never wrote down the lyrics and, in an hour, he was ready to record it. By the time Timberlake was in the vocal booth, the basic track was done, then Timbaland produced a prelude of the song. Timberlake sang the song in a couple of takes and went back line by line to fill up the gaps. During the recording sessions, Timbaland and Danja added everything else, including the basses and strings. Danja compared the process to scoring to a movie, thinking the song was like a horror flick.[2]
"What Goes Around... Comes Around" was pivotal to the creation of FutureSex/LoveSounds. After finishing the production of the song, Timbaland teased Timberlake. Timberlake responded: "Let's do something we would never do. Let's go far left and just see what happens."[2] His answer motivated the collective, and they ended up producing ten songs for the album.[1]

"What Goes Around.../...Comes Around" is a pop-R&B song performed in a slow manner.[3] It is composed in the key of A Dorian (A Minor) in common time. With a gentle and midtempo beat,[4] the tempo is pacing to 76 beats per minute.[3] The song features a two-minute interlude titled "Comes Around", featuring the album's producer Timbaland, spanning to a seven-minute and 28-second track. Timberlake's voice ranges from B2 to C5.[3] Musically, the song is similar to the type of music produced on Timberlake's Justified album; however, it is the only link from FutureSex/LoveSounds to Justified.[5]
In the beginning of the song, there is a five-second harmony line of two bağlamas (one each panned far left and far right on respect octaves), a Turkish folk instrument. The beat is then changed to a more upbeat version of the same melody with more percussion. The basic ornamentation is loyal to characteristic Turkish string ornamentations. Timbaland also used the Turkish oud to mellow out the guitar riff.[2] The chord series follows the Am-C-G-D keys. Following the instrumental, Timberlake begins the verse at thirteenth bar. The original track had a bridge, including the pre-verses, the verses and the choruses. After hearing the vocals of Timberlake, they decided to remove the bridge and follow a simple flow, because they felt its "too much" to have it and a break at the end of the song.[2] Timbaland provides backing vocals on the song.
"What Goes Around.../...Comes Around" is about betrayal and forgiveness.[6] Timberlake revealed that the song was written for the experience his friend went through.[5] However, the public came up with different interpretation of the lyrics, that being a sequel to "Cry Me A River". Bill Lamb wrote that the song has a "cautionary tale in the lyrics".[4] According to him, many fans and critics alike, after hearing the song, insisted that it is similar in meaning to "Cry Me a River", which allegedly accounts to Timberlake's relationship with former girlfriend, pop singer Britney Spears.[4] However, Timberlake's account of the song's meaning contradicts this. Spence D. of IGN commented that the song presents "some intriguing ambiance".[7]
Reception[edit]
Critical reception[edit]
"With an instantly recognizable introduction, Timberlake teaches a master class on consequences."
— VH1's Emily Exton in 2013.[8]
The song received generally positive reviews from critics. Rolling Stone called the single "a soaring ballad featuring Timberlake's falsetto, with verses and choruses that pile on top of one another with dizzying effect."[9] About.com reviewer Bill Lamb stated that the song "is one of the most gorgeous pop melodies of the year." He complimented the string-based arrangement of the song.[4] Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly called it "superior", along with "LoveStoned".[10] Zach Baron of Pitchfork Media referred to it "some real can't-let-go shit that'll save you the repeat stabs on the bad night."[11] Spence D. of IGN called it "annoying" but he complimented the use of echo vocals and swirling synths.[7]
In later reviews, Billboard's Katie Atkinson noted "with a whopping 7:28 running time, it was a very long single. But there are a lot of great pieces to this too-big puzzle."[12] Complex staff described it as "smooth, velvety and self-assured" track, noting the singer "is not guessing that his cheating ex will be punished for her transgression—he's sure she will be."[13] Idolator staff stated, "This track is also probably what influenced many of Taylor Swift kiss-off ballad in the years to come."[14]
"What Goes Around.../...Comes Around" placed at number 24 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[15] The song was nominated twice at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance but lost to Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" for Record of the Year.[16]

Music video[edit]
Development[edit]
Director Samuel Bayer and Timberlake chose American actress Scarlett Johansson after deciding on using "real" actors for the music video to "What Goes Around... Comes Around".[33]
The music video for the "What Goes Around... Comes Around" was produced as a short movie.[33][34] The video was directed by Samuel Bayer, who had first directorial works with Nirvana's 1991 single "Smells Like Teen Spirit".[33][34] The video features dialogues written by Alpha Dog writer and director Nick Cassavetes, who had previously worked with Timberlake in the film.[33][34] Timberlake and Bayer enlisted American actress Scarlett Johansson after deciding on using "real" actors.[33] The shooting went for three days between Christmas and New Year's Eve in Los Angeles.[33] The dawn scene was shot on January 8, after the original sessions were done.[33]
Synopsis[edit]
The video starts off with Timberlake flirting with Johansson on the burlesque-style club. She rejects with a tease at first but eventually leaves with him to go back to his place. In between cuts, they are shown in bed caressing each other. Johansson jumps into a pool outside the house, and floats below the surface as if she is drowning. Timberlake runs out and pulls her up; she laughs at Timberlake and kisses him.
In another scene, Timberlake introduces her to a drunk Shawn Hatosy at the club calling her "The One". Hatosy seems to be interested in Johansson and Timberlake asks him to "keep an eye on her for me", perhaps suspecting she has another man on the side. Timberlake returns and finds them kissing in the stairway. After punching Hatosy, he chases after Johansson, who speeds off in her 1967 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray; Timberlake follows in his Porsche Carrera GT. Johansson runs into a fiery car crash pile up and is ejected from the car as it tumbles through the air and lands several feet away 2 times. Timberlake notices a motionless body lying supine on the ground. He gets out and kneels over her while the camera view moves toward the sky.
Some scenes shows Timberlake performing on the stairway with a microphone while a group of unknown girls with red paint on their eyes are seen dancing next to him while one (Johansson) is seen waving her batons with fire on them near the end of the video.
