Eastbound I-90 ramps to I-405 in Bellevue were closed for several hours while troopers investigated the scene.
The ramps reopened a bit before 10:30 p.m.
Two people were transported to Harborview Medical Center — one was the man who died. The other was a woman in her 60s. She was treated for a rib injury and burns to her face.
Though only one motorcycle was confirmed to be involved in the crash, State Patrol believes a pack of motorcycles was connected to the incident.
The Washington State Department of Transportation advised that the best detour was via the 150th Avenue Southeast off-ramp and on-ramp to WB I-90.
It is still unclear how the collision occurred.
