State Route 532 (SR 532) is a short Washington state highway in Island and Snohomish counties, located in the United States. It connects Camano Island and Stanwood to a junction with Interstate 5 (I-5) northwest of Arlington.
The eastern section of the road was constructed in 1887 and was connected to Camano Island by a cable ferry, which was replaced by a bridge opened in 1909. The highway was paved in 1916 and acquired by the state government in 1945, becoming Secondary State Highway 1Y (SSH 1Y). The state funded new bridges across the Stillaguamish River and Davis Slough and later renumbered the highway as SR 532 in 1964, a few years before the highway was moved to a new roadway. From to 2009 to 2010, major sections of the highway were rebuilt, including a new bridge over the Stillaguamish River.
Route description
SR 532 begins at the intersection of Camano Drive and Sunrise Boulevard at the Y-shaped Terry's Corner on
The highway runs through Stanwood on the south side of the city, following the bank of the Stillaguamish River. Near the city's eastern downtown and Amtrak station, SR 532 crosses over a railroad and intersects the Pioneer Highway, which was formerly signed as SR 530.[1] From downtown Stanwood, the road passes through the city's suburban hilltop neighborhoods, including a business district centered at 72nd Avenue Northwest. SR 532 curves southeasterly after leaving the city, but returns to a northeasterly path near Sunday Lake. The highway ends at an interchange with I-5 near another park-and-ride lot, while the road continues east to SR 9 at Bryant.[3]
SR 532 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 annual average daily traffic. In 2016, WSDOT calculated that 21,000 vehicles traveled on SR 532 in downtown Stanwood and 12,000 used it near the I-5 interchange, the highest and lowest traffic counts along the highway, respectively.[4]
