Washington State Route 509
State Route 509
(
SR 509
) is a
state highway
in the
U.S. state
of
Washington
, connecting
Tacoma
in
Pierce County
to
Seattle
in
King County
. The highway travels north from
Interstate 705
(I-705) in Tacoma to
SR 99
south of downtown Seattle. It serves cities along the
Puget Sound
and west of
Seattle–Tacoma International Airport
in south King County, including
Federal Way
,
Des Moines
, and
Burien
. SR 509 is part of the
National Highway System
and is a
limited-access highway
near the
Port of Tacoma
and from Burien to its northern terminus in Seattle. Prior to the
1964 highway renumbering
, the highway was part of Secondary State Highway 1V (SSH 1V) from Tacoma to Des Moines and SSH 1K from Des Moines to Seattle. SR 509 was re-aligned onto the Burien Freeway in 1968 and the Port of Tacoma bypass in 1997, coinciding with the opening of its interchange with I-705 and the
cable-stayed
21st Street Bridge
. Various proposals since 1988 have recommended building a freeway extension of SR 509 within the city of
SeaTac
, connecting the Burien Freeway to
I-5
, that remains unbuilt.
