History
SR 202 was formed in 1964 from the Bothell-Monroe branch of Primary State Highway 15. At this time, almost all of present-day SR 202 was part of SR 522, and present-day SR 522 from Woodinville to Monroe was part of SR 202. In 1970, SR 522 and SR 202 were switched, yielding their present configuration. As a result of this change, SR 202, although a child route of U.S. Route 2, does not currently connect to US 2. Originally it did at the current junction of US 2 and SR 522 in Monroe.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
