SR 525 Mukilteo Area Online Open House

English  |  Español

Welcome!

This online open house provides information about two important Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) projects in the Mukilteo area:

You’ll find details about each project—including project needs, existing conditions, potential improvements, and opportunities to provide feedback. You’ll see several options we are considering for this corridor, and we want your vote at the end.

Your input will help shape design decisions, especially for bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

This project will repave and construct ADA upgrades and will replace the bridge overcrossing the BNSF railroad on SR 525 in the city of Mukilteo.

Complete Streets

Both projects reflect WSDOT’s commitment to Complete Streets, which ensure roadways are safe and accessible for all users—whether walking, biking, rolling, driving or using transit. The goal of Complete Streets is to improve the comfort and safety of active transportation users by:

In designing facilities for walking and biking, we use Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) to determine how much space and separation to provide. LTS measures the stress that someone walking, rolling or biking feels on road segments and crossings.

This image is divided into four sections, each showing the different levels of traffic stress (LTS) for bicyclists. LTS1 shows is rated as comfortable for all bicyclists, with a bike path separated by a strip of grass from traffic. LTS 2 is rated as comfortable for most bicyclists with a bike path separated from traffic with two buffered painted lines. LTS 3 is rated as being comfortable for few bicyclists with , only a solid line dividing bicyclists from traffic. LTS 4 is rated as being comfortable for only 1% of riders with no bike lane.
This table shows the four levels of bicycle lane infrastructure and their associated levels of traffic stress (LTS) ranging from one to four.

LTS1 shows is rated as comfortable for all users, with a active transportation path separated by a strip of grass from traffic. LTS 2 is rated as comfortable for most users with an active transportation path separated from traffic with two buffered painted lines. LTS 3 is rated as being comfortable for few users with, only a solid line dividing pedestrians from traffic. LTS 4 is rated as being comfortable for only 1% of users with no dedicated active transportation path.

Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act

We are also applying the principles of the Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act, which directs state agencies to address environmental health disparities that impact overburdened communities. Both projects are designated as significant agency actions which means an Environmental Justice Assessment will be completed and published. WSDOT staff will assess how this project may impact these communities and vulnerable populations and will engage with those directly affected to identify strategies to reduce harms and increase benefits associated with the project. WSDOT is using the Washington Environmental Health Disparities (EHD) Map and community input to help inform equitable design.

📅 This open house will be available through July 9th, 2025.
