History
The current route that SR 113 uses today was first state-maintained in 1937, during the creation of the Primary and secondary system as SSH 9A, extending from Sappho to Port Angeles. The Sappho–Clallam Bay segment was dropped from SSH 9A in 1955 and SSH 9A instead extended west to Neah Bay. SSH 9A later became SR 112 during the 1964 highway renumbering and SR 113 was assigned to a different route. In 1991, SR 113 was given the current route from Sappho to Clallam Bay and no further alignment changes have since happened.
