State Route 522 (SR 522) is a state highway in the U.S. state of
Washington that serves the Seattle metropolitan area. Approximately 25
miles (40 km) long, it connects the city of Seattle to the northeastern
suburbs of Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, and Monroe. Its western half
is primarily an arterial street, named Lake City Way and Bothell Way,
that follows the northern shore of Lake Washington; the eastern half is
a grade-separated freeway that runs between Woodinville and Monroe.
SR 522 connects several of the metropolitan area's major highways,
including Interstate 5, Interstate 405, SR 9, and U.S. Route 2. The
present day route of SR 522 was built in stages between 1907 and 1965,
beginning with the Red Brick Road from Seattle to Bothell, then part of
the Pacific Highway and later U.S. Route 99. Since the late 1990s, the
SR 522 corridor between Woodinville and Monroe has been partially
converted to a freeway to address safety concerns and a growing
population.
