Washington State Route 532

On Sunday, July 19, 2020, we drove Washington State Route 532 across the bridge and up the hill.

RCW 47.17.760
State route No. 532:

A state highway to be known as state route number 532 is established as follows:

Beginning at a point on Camano Island known as McEacherns Corner, thence easterly over a bridge and by way of Stanwood to a junction with state route number 530 in the vicinity of Stanwood, thence easterly to a junction with state route number 5 in the vicinity east of Stanwood.

Highway 532 begins at this intersection at the north end of Camano Island, a smidge south of "Terry's Corner". The first quarter mile of the highway was built as a bypass around said corner, since most people go south on East Camano Drive from here. ..."McEacherns Corner" isn't on the map.


Shops and farms line the road on Camano Island. Up and over the hill and down to the ditch known as Davis Slough, which marks the end of the island. The big new bridge, however, is over West Pass, part of the delta of the Stillaguamish River (a branch of a branch... I think it's actually more tidal than fluvial at this point). Welcome to Stanwood. The halfway point of Highway 532 is near the QFC.


After crossing Pioneer Highway (the old old US 99), we climb up up up the hill and east to I-5. Just like that, our highway drive is over.

Isabelle bought cherries. They were good.
