GA review (see here for criteria)

---

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • The sentence "The highway travels north from Interstate 705 (I-705) in Tacoma along the Puget Sound through south King County, serving the cities of Federal Way, Des Moines, and Burien west of Seattle–Tacoma International Airport to SR 99 south of downtown Seattle." needs to be reworded. I would suggest splitting into two sentences with the first sentence mentioning the termini and the second sentence mentioning the cities it passes through.
     •  Split
   • The sentence "SR 509 continues north onto Marine View Drive through the city of Normandy Park and into SeaTac,[24][25] where it turns southeast onto Amabaum Boulevard and Des Moines Memorial Drive to a trumpet interchange, the southern terminus of a limited-access freeway section of SR 509" needs to be split.
     •  Split
   • The sentence "SR 509 passes Highline High School and intersects Southwest 148th Street in a partial cloverleaf interchange, forming the western terminus of SR 518,[29][30] before a half-diamond interchange with South 146th Street." sounds awkward.
     •  Re-worded
   • You use the verb "intersects" a lot in the route description. Can you please try to vary the wording a bit?
     •  Varied

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   • Are there any additional details that can be added about the construction of the Burien Freeway?
     • ✗ No additional dates
   • Are there any additional details that can be added about the planned upgrades to SR 509, such as dates?
     • ✗ No set timeline

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I will put the article on hold for some concerns to be addressed. Dough4872 04:37, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
