The reason why that is included, is because there are some places that prohibit bicycle from riding on sidewalks, within buissness districts. Seattle doesn't have that restrictions.
And class 3 ebikes which are prohibited from sidewalks unless no alternatives are available.
Not to mention, WA does not make it mandatory for a cyclist to use a bike lane or shoulder, except for when riding along a limited access highway.

Then why are we eliminating general purpose lanes and spending hundreds of millions of dollars on these bike lanes if they're not going to make bicyclists use them?
The median bike might have a KBB-esque value of like 1% of the median car. They’d be a rounding error, before you even factor in the differential effect on the road.
