Comments:

1. Change "where the end of SR 7 is" to "where it ends at".
2. The sentence "The earliest road to used the current route of SR 7 first appeared in a 1900 map of the Tacoma area and has been part of the state highway system since 1909, when the Alder-Kosmos Road was added to the system as State Road 18, which became part of two branches of State Road 5 in 1923 and later branches of Primary State Highway 5." is very wordy and should be split.
3. In same sentence, "used" should be "use".
4. "and constructed started": "constructed" should be "construction".
5. The sentence "After leaving Morton, the highway becomes the Mountain Highway, passes through a heavily forested area, passes Mount Rainier to cross the Nisqually River, leave Lewis County and enter Pierce County." sounds awkward and needs to be reworded.
6. Do not use "then" in describing progression of route.
7. I don't think traffic counts from 1970 are accurate in the route description.
8. The route description is awfully short for a 58 mile-long road. Can more information about what physical surroundings and landmarks it passes be added?
9. In sentence "During the 1964 highway renumbering the two branches became SR 7." indicate that these are two branches of PSH 5.
10. The sentence "Between 1968 and 2008, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad gave the railroad that parallels SR 7 to Tacoma Rail." sounds confusing.
11. In sentence "The segment of the highway between SR 507 in Spanaway to SR 512 in Parkland had a very high accident rate, so WSDOT added saftey improvements in 2007.", indicate that this is SR 7 receiving the improvements.
12. Can a picture of the route itself be added to the article?

I am placing the article on hold. Dough4872 (talk) 00:49, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

• Nearly Done - I don't have any pictures and Tacoma is about 100 mi from my house and I can't get down there. –CG 15:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
  • All I have is a picture of SR 508 in Morton that has a "JCT SR 7" sheild on the right: File:Main st morton wa.jpg. –CG 15:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
