Its southern origin is at Interstate 5 at the north end of the Roosevelt neighborhood in north Seattle, where it is a city arterial, Lake City Way N.E. Upon crossing the Seattle city limits into Lake Forest Park, its name changes to Bothell Way N.E. It continues through Kenmore and into Bothell, where part of it is designated Woodinville Drive. East of downtown Bothell, SR 522 becomes a freeway as the first segment of the Bothell-Monroe Highway. It continues through Woodinville to an at-grade intersection with Paradise Lake Road. From there, it continues east as a two-lane freeway into unincorporated Snohomish County to Monroe, where it ends at the junction with U.S. Route 2. It is about long in total. ==History== Once called the Red Brick Road, SR 522 originally connected Downtown Seattle to the towns of Lake City, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, Redmond, Falls City and points east. From 1926 to 1930, U.S. Route 99 followed the present day SR 522 from Seattle to SR 527.〔(US 99 Trunk ) - Highways of Washington State; ''Retrieved 6/25/12''〕 Rebuilt and expanded after World War II, it remained a connector from downtown Seattle through to Redmond until the construction of Interstate 5, when its origination point moved several miles north along that freeway into the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle. After 1970, the easternmost portion of SR 522 from Bothell to Woodinville, Redmond, and North Bend was renumbered as State Route 202, and the portion of what had been SR 202 between Bothell and Monroe was renumbered as SR 522. A highly utilized bypass to reach Stevens Pass, 1,780 accidents, 1,359 injuries, and 47 deaths in 15 years resulted in the highway being included in the September 1995 Reader's Digest article "America's Most Dangerous Highways." The route has also been featured in a Dateline NBC story and a 2007 ''Forbes'' magazine〔 (【引用サイトリンク】accessdate= 2007-07-18 )〕 article for similar reasons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Washington State Route 522」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
