> The pontoon bridge works in Seattle because the main port is in the Puget Sound and there isn't any major shipping in Lake Washington.
The old 520 bridge (longer than the I-90 bridge) used to have a drawbridge in the middle because there was a naval station in Sandpoint. The new 520 bridge doesn't have it, and the naval station has long since been closed down. The hood canal floating bridge gets a lot more traffic although mostly Submarines I think.
