Do we use a different sort than is used in the Northeast and Midwest? How did it all vanish so easily? I’ve been a bit confused by this too — paint is missing all over.

I don't get how a snowplow could have done that; that paint is not easily scraped off. Maybe the aliens did it to mess with our minds. Here’s a photo of Aurora, at My Ballard.

Aurora is a mess right now, since one of the lanes has disappeared completely, starting around Queen Anne. All of the cars kind of mix in these two lanes - some driving in the middle, confident that a lack of lines and turtles means a lack of lane separation. Others stick to one "lane" or the other, their memory of proper lane markings stronger than the current reality. Save the Turtles!
