Route description

SR 527 runs 11.92 miles (19.18 km) from SR 522 in the city of Bothell, north to an interchange with I-5, SR 99, and SR 526 in Everett. The route links the cities of Bothell, Everett, and Mill Creek, and intersects three highways: I-405, SR 524, and SR 96 before ending at I-5, SR 99, and SR 526.[3][4][5] WSDOT has found that about 46,000 motorists utilize the road daily at the I-405 based on average annual daily traffic (AADT) data.[6]

SR 527 starts at SR 522 in Bothell, about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) from the SR 522/I-405 interchange.[7] From the intersection, SR 527 runs northwest to Canyon Park Place, where after intersecting 228th Street SE, the highway has a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-405.[8] From the interchange, the road goes northeast to Thrashers Corner, where SR 527 intersects SR 524 before moving on to pass Kennard Corner, Silver Creek Park, North Creek County Park, and Mays Pond Park. After passing the parks, the highway intersects 164th Street SE, a major arterial, in Mill Creek.[9]

After the intersection with 164th Street SE, the road goes north past the Mill Creek Town Center and the Mill Creek Library and Library Park before intersecting a connector to SR 96 wesbound.[10] After the short intersection, SR 527 intersects the actual SR 96 before traveling on the eastern shore of Silver Lake and intersecting 112th Street SE, which goes west to the South Everett Freeway Station which was completed in 2008.[11][12] From the intersection, the highway goes north to the Eastmount Park and Ride, where the road goes northwest to an interchange with I-5 and then to an intersection with SR 99, SR 526, and Broadway, where the road ends.[13] The road continuies west from the intersection as SR 526, also known as the Boeing Freeway, and goes west to the Boeing Everett Factory, Paine Field, and goes towards Mukilteo.[14] SR 99 goes south from the intersection to the Everett Mall, Seattle, and Fife.[15] An extension of SR 99, Broadway, goes north from the intersection into Downtown Everett.[16]

History

 
The shield of Secondary State Highway 2J.

SR 527 became a state highway during the 1964 highway renumbering, in which the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) replaced the previous system of Primary and Secondary Highways with a new system called State Routes, which is still in use today. Before the Primary and Secondary system, SR 527 in 1923 was part of State Road 1, which later U.S. Route 99 (US 99).[17] Later, in 1937, the route became part of Secondary State Highway 2A (SSH 2A),[18] but was later removed in 1943,[19] and readded as SSH 2J in 1957[2][20] It went from PSH 2 BO (Bothell branch) in Bothell to SSH 1I and US 99 in Everett.[20] SSH 2J became SR 527 in 1964.[2]

SR 527 opened on October 17, 1969,[21] but eventually, the highway became overcrowded, with about 57,000 motorists using the road in 2004 at the I-405 interchange.[6] An expansion project for SR 527 started in 1991 was completed in 2006.[22] The first stage involved widening the roadway to five-seven lanes between 228th Street SE and SR 524 and minor improvements at the interchange with I-405. The second stage involved widening the roadway to five lanes between SR 524 and 164th Street. The third stage widened the road between 164th Street SE to SR 96.[23] The fourth and most complex stage widened the road between SR 96 and 112th Street SE.[24] This stage invovled expanding the SR 527/SR 96 intersection dramatically and raising the roadway near Silver Lake, along with numerous pedestrian and aesthetic improvements.[24][25]

SR 527 acted as a detour route for a construction project on SR 522 from September 26 to September 29, 2008. SR 522's eastbound lanes going out of Bothell towards Monroe were closed for repaving and with SR 522 handling about 38,000 motorists daily in that area,[6] extra travelers used a 6 miles (9.7 km)* detour using SR 527 and then I-405.[26]
