 * 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?
 * 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)
 * I will pass the article. Dough4872 (talk) 23:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
