This is what it's come to folks. Money is so tight that, according to the Seattle Times, a Washington State Representative is exploring whether the state should start selling naming rights to raise revenue for transportation projects. Jan Angel, (R) Port Orchard, says she particularly wants to see alternatives that could keep toll fares low on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
Angel is researching how much money the naming rights might raise for the state. So could you be driving across the Starbucks Bridge some day? Possibly. Or the Boeing freeway. Will post updates on this here if it turns into anything.

Ha! Good point @Barb Chamberlain. Or the BP Aquarium?
