Route Description
State Route 524 (SR 524) begins at an intersection with SR 104 in Edmonds near the Edmonds Ferry Terminal, which is owned and operated by Washington State Ferries and serves as the eastern end of the Edmonds-Kingston route across Puget Sound to Kingston. From the interchange, the highway travels east as Main Street and intersects 3rd Avenue, which continues south as SR 524 Spur. The roadway then turns north as 3rd Avenue and later turns east as Caspers Street and north as 9th Avenue before becoming Puget Drive and later 196th Street Southwest and continuing east into Lynnwood. In Lynnwood, the road passes the Edmonds Community College and intersects SR 99 before passing Scriver Lake and 44th Avenue, which is another SR 524 Spur, to interchange with Interstate 5 (I-5). Within the interchange, SR 524 passes over I-5 while Alderwood Mall Boulevard, which connects to nearby Alderwood Mall, passes over the roadway. Leaving the interchange, the road is named Filbert Road and leaves Lynnwood before curving northeast under I-405. From I-405, the highway travels southeast into Bothell, where the roadway is once again renamed to 208th Street and intersects SR 527, where it is again renamed to Maltby Road. Leaving Bothell, SR 524 continues east into Maltby and passes SR 9 before crossing railroad tracks once owned by Northern Pacific Railway. After the crossing, the road turns south as Yew Way and east as Paradise Lake Road before ending at SR 522. The busiest section on the highway in 2007 was west of the I-5 interchange, which was used by an estimated daily average of 47,000 motorists; the bustiest section in 1970 was at the Cedar Way (now 44th Avenue / SR 524 Spur), with a daily average of 25,900 motorists.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
