Driving On WA SR-529 North In 1983 (Everett)

- Back in 1983, The Washington State Department of Transportation drove North on SR-529 and recorded video to document the highway. This was part of a project that photographed/videotaped the states highways every couple of years. This video now resides at The Washington State Archives who were kind enough to share it.
This is awesome! Was able to show my kids stuff I remember growing up in North Everett as a kid. The Town House Restaurant, Castle Drugs, the Royal Fork Buffet, Jafco, my goodness. The stuff they have grown up seeing and how much it's changed. This was really cool
I got to move with my husband to North Everett in 2010 (I had lived there from 1974 until 1985) and it was so weird to see how much had changed, but how much had stayed the same.
Bought my first stereo at JAFCO; a Zenith. Complete with an 8-track tape player. Nothing says hi-fi, quite like an 8-track. 😂😂😂
WOW. So much has changed from when this video was taken. It's 2023 now. And Everett is still changing.
It’s more crazy how so much of that stuff is still there.
Makes me cry
I've driven this route too many times to count - both directions - well before and after this video was taken. I went to Everett Community College mid- to late-70's. I remember that Quicky Mart gas station at about 9:37 used to have jaw-droppingly low gas prices back in the late 60's-early 70's, because they'd get in price wars with the station over on the west side of the highway (the "TIME" station). You'd see regular for 15 or 16 cents a gallon back then. *That was before the Arab Oil Embargo hit us in '73, lol. Ah, memories!
9:31 you can see the Jafco sign, before the store became BEST
Something so simple, yet brings so much joy to see. (': Sadly that building is all that's left of the old shopping center these days.. /:
I remember going to an Everett Giants (now Aquasox) game in 1992 or 93. Even as a little kid it struck me as odd that you could exit the freeway on the left side 😆 Now they have a regular exit on the right side of the freeway, and this one is carpool only.
I remember it being like this all the way till the very early 2000s! It was an exit for a hwy so it made sense back in the day when people knew how to drive and the carpool lane was well non existent
I Miss alfies PIZZA JUST DOWN FROM MY FIRST HOUSE AT 2102 Lombard Ave and that was good times before ny family and were relocated to McKinney Texas just north of Dallas Texas
I caught the Herfy's sign briefly.. how amazing
Kuhnles Tavern in Marysville is still there, Buzz-Inn on 36th and Broadway burned downed
The phone booth outside china doll had a Chinese roof on it
I remember that
The roads and town haven't been updated since, it honestly looks so clean and fresh then, now everything is tired and worn out looking due to the lack of maintenance
Was anyone else rooting for the container driver to cut off the van? 🤣
You sound like my type of fun lol
Oh man! I remember these days in north everett. My grandma was alive, my dad, aunts and uncles were around back then. Just past everett is the route me and my dad would take to go to Green mountain next to Pilchuck to go shoot the .22s.
This is amazing I’m glad I got to see this how did you get all of these videos are you the inventor of the dash cam 😂😂😂
Wish it had KZOK overplaying the video.
this time in everett was pretty interesting. I was 4 when this was shot. I could swear that was my mom in that red VW bug lol
$1.03 a gallon in the early 80s? Dang, that's expensive!
$1.14 gas
Brown Bear still thriving
I can count like 9 overpasses I've lived under in this video!
Brown Bear is still there
Rays deli was a fun place to go
I notice that on some of your videos the WSDOT drives the road both directions. Is there any chance you have SR-529 heading southbound? I'd like to see if I can get a better look at the west side of State Ave in Marysville between 4th and 1st since all of that got torn down in the late 80s to make way for the "mall", and I think if the camera was heading south I'd be able to see more of that side of the road.
I have it marked down to try and upload if the State Archives ends up sending more =).
did ray's drive-in own the deli as well?
40 years ago today
0:25 See? Idiots were cutting each other off even back then.

Please upload any Marysville videos you have.
Yes I’m from there
China Doll

Wow! Tai Ho prior to their Kenmore move. They served me spoiled chicken once. I'm glad they finally closed
Bought a 79 Civic in ‘83. Came with a TaiHo mug in the glove box, that I used for my morning cocoa…great mug lol
Dang, so old video.
Wow were they in the middle of constructing the jail over on Pacific?
anyone have any videos like this of

mill creek
north bothell
monroe
bothell everett highway?
Can you do 9th Avenue (SR 125) in Walla Walla? I'd so love to see that if you have it.
as a kid lots fun times the 80.s was good times for some fun we would have fast... cars down the river road go fishing nice people .. i moved away in 1996 .the rude people and traffic now no thanks . Seattle OM G Tacoma? ill stop have a better day all
And that was heavy traffic back then. Lol
I wonder if this video was shot with a handsfree device...... LOL
03:10 VW Käfer 😀 05:05 VW Bus T1 😃
I used to wear my pantaloons around my ankles and stand on the street corner. It was fun to wave at oncoming traffic. I only got arrested once.
This looks more like 1973! I don't see any 80 model cars on this road. I see 50's, 60's and 70 model car only. Are you sure this was 1983? I know the date on the camera says 6//6/83 but...
The WSDOT began using video back in 1982. Before that they used photos to document the highways.
There was S10 pickups in there, which was 1982 for first year :)
I'm one of the hated peeps who moved here from California in the 1980s. We were shocked by what you are noting here. There were seemingly zero new cars on the roads, and definitely no clean cars...ever. LOL A total departure from the car culture of SoCal. The Western WA of today is a blend of the old school, and a lot of new California-type development. Heck, the stretch of town shown in the video here is very slightly changed compared to other areas in the region. It kinda looks like that if you drive it today.
Ummm, there are a shit ton of 80's vehicles in this video. Yes, we are sure this video is from 1983. I was sixteen during the summer of 83, and everything in this video is EXACTLY the way I remember downtown Everett at the time. I went to Lowell Elementary, Port Gardner Middle School, then finally Everett High. Class of 85!! 🙌
People in Everett are still driving those exact same cars.
Only the store fronts have changed.
... and Jerry's surplus is now a medical equipment place.
Now the roads are a sea of traffic, aggression, middle fingers and angst.
Even most of the signs were pretty ugly.
