GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS): 
The sentence "SR 17 continues north, intersecting SR 28 in Soap Lake at the southern end of the Grand Coulee, to a short concurrency with US 2 west of Coulee City." sounds awkward.
 Done
The sentence "SSH 11G was created in 1951 and was widened between Moses Lake and Soap Lake in the 1960s and was replaced by a limited-access highway in 2007." needs to be split.
 Done
There are a lot of sentences in the route description that have a comma followed by an "-ing" verb. I would try to reword some of these.
 Done Trimmed to 3 instances, is that too many? SounderBruce 01:56, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
The sentence "Leaving Moses Lake, the highway travels north along Moses Lake through Moses Lake North,[17][18] passing Grant County International Airport,[19] before crossing Rocky Ford Creek and intersecting SR 282, which travels west to Ephrata.[20]" needs to be split.
 Done
The sentence "The highway turns northeast, passing north of Blue Lake and Park Lake,[27][28] the former having a rest area,[29] before entering Sun Lakes State Park and passing Dry Falls." needs to be reworded.
 Done
The sentence "SR 17 briefly travels west before leaving US 2 and turning north out of the Grand Coulee, intersecting the eastern terminus of SR 172 at Sims Corner,[32] before following East Foster Creek to the western terminus of SR 174 and its spur route in Leahy." needs to be split.
 Done
As with SR 502, I would keep the events in the history in chronological order.
✗ Not done The paragraph is in chronological order, excluding the first sentence. Talking about the 4 highways without clarifying that they are the predecessors to SR 17 is confusing to the reader. SounderBruce 21:13, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
The sentence "The Soap Lake–Coulee City branch of PSH 7 was established in 1937 to serve as an alternate route to SSH 2F, renumbered to SR 155 in 1964,[45] avoiding the Grand Coulee Dam." needs to be reworded.
 Done
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 

It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 
I will place the article on hold for fixes to be made. Dough4872 23:52, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
