While SR 520 does not link to Wallingford, if you plan on using the bridge, you might want a “Good To Go!” pass.
Starting this spring, 520 tolls will be collected using the Good To Go! electronic tolling system, which allows tolls to be collected without stopping or slowing. There will be no traditional toll booths. If you don’t have a pass, you can log on and pay within 72 hours of crossing the bridge or your license plate will be photographed and the toll will be billed to the registered owner of the car. The vehicle owner will have up to 80 days to pay the toll before a Notice of Civil Penalty is issued.
“Tolling is a critical funding source for replacing the vulnerable 520 bridge,” Washington Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond said. “Starting tolling this spring helps keep project costs down while improving the safety and reliability of this vital corridor. The funds help us begin pontoon construction in Grays Harbor for a replacement bridge and improvements on the Eastside starting next month.”
WSDOT officials announced that drivers will receive a $10 credit towards SR 520 tolls if they purchase a Good To Go! Pass and activate an account by April 15. Starting this Friday, February 18, the Standard Sticker pass, costing $5, will be available at 84 participating Safeway stores throughout Puget Sound.

Did you know that the 'Good to Go' pass means that you will get charged as non-carpool even if you ARE a car pool (i.e. multiple people in car) on Hwy167.
