History

SR 530 was first created in 1937 as SSH 1E. [cite web |url=http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/hwysofwastate/ssh001e.html |title=SSH 1E |author=Highways of Washington |accessdate=2008-06-14] SSH 1E was given the SR 530 designation in 1964. SR 530 ran from I-5 in Conway south to Stanwood, where it intersected with SR 532, and went southeast along the Pioneer Highway to its current ending at I-5. Then, SR 530 went on its current route up to Darrington, where it ended.

In the 1980's, SR 530 was extended to SR 20 in Rockport and in 1992, the route from Conway to I-5 near Arlington was dropped from the system. [cite web |url=http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/hwysofwastate/sr530.html |title=State Route 530 |author=Highways of Washington |accessdate=2008-06-14] The route from Conway to Smokey Point Boulevard was part of U.S. Route 99.
