Route description
SR 522, named Lake City Way within Seattle city limits, begins at an
interchange with I-5 in the Roosevelt neighborhood of northern Seattle,
east of Green Lake. The interchange only allows movements south
towards Downtown Seattle on I-5, and includes a connection to the
freeway's reversible express lane system. The highway travels northeast
from the interchange, tunneling under the intersection of Roosevelt
Way NE and NE 75th Street; the intersection itself is connected to
SR 522 by a series of ramps to collector streets.[3] Lake City Way
Lake City Way (SR 522) northbound
continues northeast through Maple Leaf as a four-lane arterial street
in the commercial district of Lake
before turning north on its approach to Thornton Creek. After crossing
City in Seattle
the creek, the highway enters the Lake City neighborhood, passing
several car dealerships.[4] Lake City itself is a designated urban village,
with mixed-use development and apartment buildings that are centered around the intersection of Lake City Way
between NE 125th Street and NE 145th Street.[5][6] At NE 145th Street, SR 522 intersects SR 523 and crosses into
Lake Forest Park.[7][8]
Beyond Seattle, the highway is named Bothell Way and follows the northern shore of Lake Washington. SR 522
intersects Ballinger Way (SR 104) at the central shopping center in Lake Forest Park,[9] and is joined by the Burke-
Gilman Trail, a multi-use trail running along the lakefront on a former railroad grade.[10] Bothell Way continues
east along the northern shore of Lake Washington through the city of Kenmore, located on the mouth of the
Sammamish River and home to the Kenmore Air Harbor seaplane base. SR 522 travels upriver through a narrow
valley that makes a sharp turn north towards Bothell. The highway turns east and continues downhill of the city's
downtown business district, staying near the Sammamish River (and the Sammamish River Trail) and intersecting
Bothell Way (formerly SR 527).[7] Leaving Bothell, SR 522 then travels around the southern edge of University of
Washington Bothell campus and intersects I-405, becoming a grade-separated freeway.[8][11]
East of I-405, SR 522 enters Woodinville and follows Little Bear Creek as it turns north away from the city's
downtown, intersecting SR 202. The freeway enters Snohomish County and intersects SR 9 south of the
Brightwater sewage treatment plant.[12] It continues through several sharp turns that follow the Eastside Rail
Corridor,[13] a former railroad grade that runs northeasterly through the predominantly rural area near Grace.[14]
In Maltby, the freeway reaches an at-grade intersection with Paradise Lake Road (SR 524) and becomes a two-lane
undivided highway. SR 522 travels northeast from Maltby, intersecting Echo Lake Road in a single-point urban
interchange, and crosses the Snohomish River into Monroe. Within Monroe, the highway widens to a four-lane
freeway with median separation and intersects Main Street in a dogbone interchange near the Monroe
Correctional Complex. SR 522 cuts across suburban housing areas in Monroe, and crosses over US 2 and the BNSF
Railway near the Evergreen State Fairgrounds.[8][15] The highway makes a 180-degree turn south to intersect with
US 2, where it terminates; the intersection also has a direct offramp for eastbound traffic from SR 522 to
eastbound US 2.[7][16]
The entire route of SR 522 is designated as part of the National Highway System,[17] classifying it as important to
the national economy, defense, and mobility.[18] The State of Washington also designates the SR 522 corridor as a
Highway of Statewide Significance,[19] which includes highways that connect major communities throughout the
state.[20] The highway is the primary route for Seattle-area residents to access Stevens Pass and other parts of the
Cascade Mountains.[21] SR 522 is maintained by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT),

which conducts an annual survey on the state's highways to measure traffic volume in terms of average annual
daily traffic. In 2016, WSDOT calculated that 96,000 vehicles used SR 522 at its interchange with I-405 and
12,000 vehicles used it at its eastern terminus in Monroe, the highest and lowest counts along the highway,
respectively.[22]

Washington State Route 522 - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_State_Route_522
An unpaved extension of the Bothell Road,[43] traveling along the Sammamish River to Woodinville, Redmond,
and Fall City, was designated as a branch of the Sunset Highway (State Road 2) in 1925.[44][45] The highway was
later paved and incorporated into a longer branch of the Sunset Highway (re-designated as Primary State Highway
2) in 1937, running from Downtown Seattle to Fall City.[46][47] The branch highway was extended to North Bend
after the opening of a Sunset Highway bypass in 1941, using the former mainline road.[48][49]
Another branch of the Bothell Road, from Bothell to the Stevens Pass Highway (Primary State Highway 15) in
Monroe, was proposed by the state good roads association in the late 1930s.[50] In 1941, funding for this segment
was rejected by the state senate, in favor of completing the highway between Everett and Monroe first.[51] The
Bothell–Monroe Cutoff was designated as a branch of Primary State Highway 15 in 1943, with a provision that the
highway would be constructed after the completion of the Everett–Monroe route.[52] Construction of the highway
was pushed back to 1961,[53] and it was further delayed by rainy weather.[54] The 8.2-mile-long (13.2 km) Bothell–
Monroe Cutoff opened on February 10, 1965,[55] costing $5.3 million (equivalent to $32 million in 2016 dollars)[56]
and cutting 20 minutes in travel time between Seattle and the Stevens Pass ski area.[57]
In 1963, the Washington State Legislature commissioned a new state highway numbering system to ease confusion
over similarly-numbered routes. The new system debuted in 1964, initially with State Route 522 (SR 522) assigned
to the branch of Primary State Highway 2 from Seattle to North Bend, and State Route 202 (SR 202) assigned to
the branch of Primary State Highway 15 from Woodinville to Monroe.[58][59] By 1970, SR 522 had been moved to
the Bothell–Monroe Cutoff, while SR 202 was moved to the Woodinville–North Bend highway.[60]
In 1968, the state highway department proposed the conversion of SR 522 into a freeway bypassing Lake City Way
and Bothell Way.[66] The plan drew heavy opposition from local residents, who feared bottlenecks and a reduction
in quality of life,[67] and was removed from regional freeway plans in 1973.[68] Freeway plans in Monroe moved
forward instead, with the completion of a two-mile-long (3.2 km) bypass to the west of downtown in 1972. SR 522
was moved from its routing on Main Street to the new freeway, which terminated at US 2 and removed a railroad
grade crossing from the route.[69]
Since the 1980s, population growth in Monroe and around the SR 522 has resulted in increased traffic congestion
and safety issues, including a rise in accidents and crashes.[14] The highway was originally designed for eventual
conversion into a four-lane freeway, with leftover right-of-way and bridge approaches built in 1965.[14]:1-1[57]
Between 1980 and 1995, the 10.5-mile-long (16.9 km) stretch of SR 522 between Woodinville and Monroe was the
site of over 1,100 accidents and 40 deaths.[70] SR 522 has been named as one of the most dangerous highways in
the United States by Reader's Digest in 1995 and Forbes in 2007, among other lists.[71][72]
In response to the crashes on SR 522, local residents organized a grassroots campaign ("Citizens Rallying for a
Safer Highway") to petition the state for safety improvements and a highway widening. In 1993, the state
legislature allocated $180 million (equivalent to $278 million in 2016 dollars)[56] in funding towards a five-stage
widening project, but the funds were transferred to the general fund at the behest of Governor Mike Lowry.[73] The
1994 supplemental transportation budget included $2 million for engineering studies on SR 522, with construction
of a four-lane freeway funded through other means.[74] State lawmakers recommended tolling SR 522 to pay off
construction bonds,[75] but the plan was pulled back after opposition from local residents.[70]

Existing state funds were used for the first stages of the SR 522 corridor project, including the addition of median
rumble strips and improved pavement markers in 1995, which helped reduce head-on collisions.[76] The city of
Monroe replaced the eastern half of SR 522 interchange with Main Street (164th Street Southeast) with a
roundabout, the first to be built in Snohomish County, in 2001.[77] The first stage of the corridor project was
completed in 2001 and widened a section between SR 9 and Paradise Lake Road (SR 524) in Maltby, at a cost of
$22 million.[21][78] The second stage, a new single-point urban interchange at Echo Lake Road southwest of
Monroe, was completed in 2006 at a cost of $37 million.[79] The third stage of the SR 522 corridor project was
completed in 2014, widening the highway to four lanes across the Snohomish River and through Monroe to US 2,
where a new eastbound offramp was also constructed separately in 2012.[80] A new roundabout at the 164th Street
Southeast interchange was also opened as part of the project, completing the dogbone interchange.[81]
The remaining stages of the SR 522 corridor project between Maltby and the Snohomish River were planned to be
funded by the Roads and Transit ballot measure in 2007, before it was rejected by local voters.[82] The 2015 state
transportation package included $10 million in design funding for an interchange at Paradise Lake Road in
Maltby, to be made available in 2025, but construction of the interchange and widening of the remaining segment
remains unfunded.[82][83] The preliminary design options for the future diamond interchange would place the
main ramps at either SR 524 or Paradise Lake Road.[84] A coalition of politician and business leaders named
"Finish522" was formed in 2018 to lobby the state government for barriers and complete grade separation in the
wake of several fatal crashes in the mid-2010s.[85][86] Long-term plans from WSDOT to address increasing traffic
congestion in downtown Monroe include the construction of a highway bypass for US 2 to the north of the city. The
project would include a northern extension of SR 522 to intersect the realigned US 2 near Kelsey Street and Chain
Lake Road.[87][88]
Mass transit
The western portion of SR 522, including Lake City Way and Bothell
Way, is a major public transit corridor for the region and is served by
Sound Transit Express and King County Metro bus routes. Bus lanes
were added to sections of SR 522 in Seattle, Lake Forest Park, and
Kenmore in the 1990s, and were expanded in the 2000s.[89] In 2002,
Sound Transit launched express Route 522, traveling between
Downtown Seattle and Woodinville.[90]
Sound Transit plans to run a Stride bus rapid transit line on SR 522 A Sound Transit Express bus on
route 522, stopping at Lake City
from NE 145th Street to the University of Washington Bothell campus
Way and NE 145th Street in Seattle
as part of its Sound Transit 3 program, approved in 2016.[91] The line is
scheduled to begin service in 2024 and will terminate at the NE 145th
Street light rail station in Shoreline.[92][93] The corridor has also been proposed for forms of rail transit since the
mid-20th century, including the failed Forward Thrust ballot measures of 1968 and 1970,[94] the Seattle Monorail
Project,[95] and light rail in the Sound Transit long-range plan.[96]
