Washington State Route 162
State Route 162 (SR 162) is a 17.37-mile-long (27.95 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Washington, serving rural Pierce County. The highway travels from an interchange with SR 410 in Sumner and travels south along the Puyallup River to Orting and northeast to South Prairie, ending at an intersection with SR 165 near Buckley. SR 162 was established in 1964 as the successor to Secondary State Highway 5E (SSH 5E), which was codified in 1937. The highway crosses the Puyallup River northwest of Orting on the McMillin Bridge, which opened in 1934 and is scheduled to be replaced with a newer bridge that will begin construction in 2014.
