SR-548 is located in the northwestern corner of Whatcom County. It is bounded on the north by the Canadian border, on the south by the city of Ferndale, on the west by the community of Birch Bay, and on the east by Interstate 5 (I-5). This route development plan (RDP) covers the entire length of SR-548. An RDP is intended to identify the future improvements needed for a designated section of state highway to accommodate safety and capacity requirements at a future date, usually 20 years thereafter. The primary purpose of SR-548 is to provide state route access to the vicinity of Birch Bay State Park. The highway also facilitates transportation of people and goods between the State of Washington and Canada and connects the rural/industrial/resort areas of northwestern Whatcom County with Ferndale and I-5.
