Where I live in the UK, there's a similar system.  It is somewhat useful 
to be able to click on an OSM map around a bus stop such as 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1848349732 and query the map to get 
to that "browse" page, and then click through to the web page.

I also created a map style separately to osm.org that shows the web site 
when you zoom in, although you can't click on it.  It wouldn't need much 
of a server to create something like that for WA; if anyone's interested 
have a look at 
https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-vector-extract/blob/main/README.md 
.

Best Regards,

Andy
