We come up on a pseudo-junction with I-5- although there is not really a direct state highway to state highway connection here. This is where SR 506 traffic is directed to exit off of I-5 however. Turn left for I-5 south.

Welcome to Ryderwood! Ryderwood touts itself as the northwest’s oldest 55+ community- where every single person is over the age of 55. There were a lot of seniors out and about…when I turned around here I had to wait for some dude to jaywalk across the street…he was using a walker.

N to SR 505, S to SR 411/SR 504
