From the Montlake Bridge, SR 513 followed Sand Point Way past the University of Washington and Sand Point to NE 125th St. At 125th, SR 513 turned left and headed west to Roosevelt Way. Heading NW on Roosevelt, SR 513 continued to 5th Ave NE, then north on 5th to NE 145th St, where SR 513 ended at the I-5 NE 145th St interchange.
