Washington State Route 203
State Route 203 (SR 203) is a Washington state highway in King and Snohomish counties. The 24.26-mile (39.04 km) route begins at an intersection with SR 202 in Fall City. The highway extends north past Carnation and Duvall to end at U.S. Route 2 (US 2) in Monroe. The roadway connects Fall City, Carnation, Duvall and Monroe, all located along the Snoqualmie River, which SR 203 roughly parallels.
The route originally was divided into four separate roads, Fall City–Carnation, Carnation–Duvall, Duvall–Monroe and Lewis Street. The first road to be paved, Lewis Street in Monroe, was completed in 1912; the roads were later combined to form Secondary State Highway 15B (SSH 15B) in 1937. SSH 15B was later renumbered to SR 203 in 1964 during the highway renumbering. Two corridor improvement projects for the King and Snohomish county portions of the road are currently in the design stage and will start in 2010.

no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
