WA Lane Splitting Bill Fails After Passing Senate

SSB 5378 (Lane Splitting) failed to get scheduled for a committee hearing by the cutoff date after passing the full Senate. Although SSB 5378 passed the Senate as a clean and safe bill (unlike last session after unsafe amendments were made), the bill failed to get scheduled for a hearing before the House Transportation Committee and is now effectively dead this session. SSB 5378 would have permitted lane-splitting on state highways with speed restrictions as a 2-year pilot project that would have to be renewed by the legislature to become permanent law.

I was out yesterday splitting like a kid with his first boner all up and down I-5 (Olympia - Tacoma) thinking twas legal!
Very fortunate for me the WSP failed to see me.

That X95 looks like a sweet gun. I assume you purchased a red dot for it, what kind?
 
Ever since this thread started, I've been eyeing lane splitting possibilities in the daily stop and go here around D.C.
 
Is filtering up at a traffic signal legal in WA? Being in an area without much traffic, the lane splitting isn't important to me right now but after living in the Sacramento/SF Bay Area I can see the big advantage to it.
