+1 on the St. John's Bridge, versus the NW Wardway hill.
Puyallup's 'hill' is 310 vertical feet, give or take a few, in a mile. Napavine's is similar; there are the 3 or so rollers beyond Vader; the ascent of the Lewis and Clark Bridge to get into Oregon; oh, and don't forget that steep block in Seattle just after leaving the shore of Lake Washington.
