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

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

WOW. So much has changed from when this video was taken. It's 2023 now. And Everett is still changing.

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!

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.

9:31 you can see the Jafco sign, before the store became BEST

Kuhnles Tavern in Marysville is still there, Buzz-Inn on 36th and Broadway burned downed

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

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

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

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.

Was anyone else rooting for the container driver to cut off the van? 🤣

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.

The phone booth outside china doll had a Chinese roof on it

$1.14 gas

$1.03 a gallon in the early 80s? Dang, that's expensive!

Brown Bear still thriving

did ray's drive-in own the deli as well?

Please upload any Marysville videos you have.

Rays deli was a fun place to go

40 years ago today

I can count like 9 overpasses I've lived under in this video!

Brown Bear is still there

40 years ago today wow.

0:25 See? Idiots were cutting each other off even back then.

China Doll

Wow were they in the middle of constructing the jail over on Pacific?

anyone have any videos like this of bothell mill creek north bothell monroe bothell everett highway?

Dang, so old video.

Can you do 9th Avenue (SR 125) in Walla Walla? I'd so love to see that if you have it.

3:06 👊🏼❗️ slug bug

Wow! Tai Ho prior to their Kenmore move. They served me spoiled chicken once. I'm glad they finally closed

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

I wonder if this video was shot with a handsfree device...... LOL

And that was heavy traffic back then. 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...

Now the roads are a sea of traffic, aggression, middle fingers and angst.

Even most of the signs were pretty ugly.
