Bikes aren't allowed on Interstates in Urban Areas.

They are allowed on Interstates, frex on I90 from just outside of Issaquah to Spokane. It's not all that pleasant or fun, but they are allowed.

Shoulders suck as a place to ride though, it's where all the road debris hangs out, waiting to puncture a tire.

It's a minority of states that allow access on rural interstates.

Access is based on a first amendment argument. I'm not sure it's a matter of permitting it, as they can't forbid it.

Here's Michigan's law forbidding pedestrian and bike use:

Are you sure that Washington doesn't just have a provision in state law requiring action to close a shoulder?
