History
The first segment of SR 524 to appear on a map was the Edmonds–Scriber Lake section, which was on a 1895 map of the area. In 1937, a road extending from Primary State Highway 1 (PSH 1) the Snohomish–King county line to Edmonds was designated Secondary State Highway 1W (SSH 1W) in 1937, during the creation of the Primary and secondary state highways. SSH 1W was extended east back to PSH 1 in Lynnwood in 1957 and extended further east to SSH 2J in Bothell in 1959. During the 1964 highway renumbering, PSH 1 became Interstate 5 (I-5), SSH 1W became SR 104 and SR 524 and SSH 2J became SR 527. SR 524 was further extended to SR 522 in 1991. In October 2005, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) repaved and added safety features to a segment extending from I-5 in Lynnwood to Richmond Road near Bothell.
