  • US Highway 2 connects Monroe to the northwest (Cities of Snohomish and Everett) and to the southeast (Cities of Leavenworth, Wenatchee and eventually to Spokane and Idaho) through the beautiful Cascade Mountains via Stevens Pass. The drive from Snohomish to Monroe is mostly farmland, while the drive east and beyond is mostly forest. Monroe is generally considered the last stop for east-bound travelers, as it has the most options for food, lodging, bathrooms, or gasoline before trekking over the mountain pass and reaching the next big city of Leavenworth (1.5 - 2 hrs of driving).
  • State Route (SR) 522 comes from the southwest originating from I-405 in Woodinville and ending at Highway 2 at the beginning of Monroe's newer retail area.
  • Monroe-Duvall Rd (SR-203) originates further south at I-90 in Snoqualmie and winds 29 mi (47 km) up into Monroe through Pleasant Hill, Carnation, and Duvall. It crosses the Skykomish River and enters into Monroe as Lewis St,. It ends at its intersection with US Hwy 2.
