State Route 532 (SR 532) is a short Washington state highway in Island and Snohomish counties, located in the United States. The 10.09-mile (16.24 km) long roadway begins at Sunrise Boulevard in Camano and travels east through Stanwood to end at Interstate 5 (I-5). The road first appeared on a map in 1911 and in 1945 was designated Secondary State Highway 1Y (SSH 1Y), which became SR 532 in 1964. As of 2009, the Washington State Department of Transportation is improving the whole corridor from Camano to I-5 with repaving projects, new traffic cameras, new lanes and replacing the Mark Clark Bridge between Camano and Stanwood with the Gateway Bridge.
State Route 532 (SR 532) begins at an intersection with Sunrise Boulevard on Camano Island, which in turn is the census-designated place of Camano. From Sunrise Boulevard, the highway travels east through rural areas and a wetland to cross Davis Slough from Island County to Snohomish County. After entering Snohomish County, the roadway crosses the Stillaguamish River on the Gateway Bridge and enters Stanwood. Between Sunrise Boulevard and the Stillaguamish River bridge, a daily average of 20,000 motorists used these sections of SR 532 in 2007, higher than the 3,500 that used the same stretch of road in 1970. The route intersects city streets, crosses a railroad track owned by the BNSF Railway that serves Amtrak's Cascades route between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Seattle. The tracks serve the Stanwood station, which was completed on November 12 and opened November 21, just north of SR 532. After crossing the tracks, the roadway intersects the Pioneer Highway, which was SR 530 from 1964 until 1991. The highway eventually leaves Stanwood and continues eastward past suburban housing areas and Sunday Lake to a diamond interchange with Interstate 5 (I-5).
