Congestion hasn't really slowed the growth of the bay area, LA, Houston, NYC, DC, etc... Despite the high economic, environmental, and quality of life costs associated with highly congested areas.
You do make a valid point about building more freeways out to exurbs. Improving 167 would make commuting from Kent or Auburn less painful, encouraging more growth there.
