On Thursday, July 25, 2024, we drove back and forth on curvy Washington State Highway 547.
A state highway to be known as state route number 547 is established as follows:Beginning at the junction of state route number 542 in the vicinity of Kendall, thence northwesterly to a junction with state route number 9 at Sumas.
Highway 547 begins at this roundabout junction with SR 542. It used to start behind us a bit, at a T junction the other side of the Kendall Chapel, but there wasn't enough space for a roundabout there. Must have a roundabout.
The highway has a couple long straightaways through the woods of Peaceful Valley, then becomes a narrow, twisty forest road. Somewhere in here is the halfway point pictured above.
We get to the bottom of the hill and proceed to zig-zag through the cornfields. The Sumas River is a dry ditch. In Sumas, we come to the end of Highway 547 at this junction with SR 9. Odd that the sign says "Bellingham" when SR 9 doesn't go there. I guess it's an "or" rather than an "and".
Highway 547 is a fun road to drive, but I'm sure Isabelle wasn't enjoying the curves and dips quite as much as I was.
