Route Description
The northwestern end of SR 202 is an interchange with SR 522 at the Bothell-Woodinville border. At that point, SR 202 is 131st Avenue Northeast. At the intersection of 131st Avenue Northeast and Woodinville-Duvall Road, SR 202 follows Woodinville-Duvall Road to the west over the Sammamish River. Across the river, SR 202 turns again, this time southeast, and becomes Woodinville-Redmond Road Northeast. It continues southeast until it intersects Northeast 145th Street, which SR 202 follows toward the east. After crossing the Sammamish River again, SR 202 breaks its concurrency with Northeast 145th Street to become Woodinville-Redmond Road again.
SR 202 continues to the south-southeast as Woodinville-Redmond Road until it reaches downtown Redmond. There it is abutted by State Route 908, which goes west to Kirkland. At the intersection with SR 908, SR 202 turns to the east-southeast and becomes a two-lane, one-way street through downtown Redmond. After a few blocks, SR 202 intersects Cleveland Street and Avondale Way and returns to a two-way road, now called Redmond-Fall City Road. SR 202 then passes under State Route 520.
Near the edge of Redmond, East Lake Sammamish Parkway NE (part of former State Route 901) branches off SR 202. SR 202 then emerges into unincorporated King County. SR 202 continues southeast to Fall City where it joins with Preston-Fall City Road and crosses the Snoqualmie River. Across the river, State Route 203 starts and heads north to Carnation, while SR 202 (now SE Fall City-Snoqualmie Road) turns east into the foothills of the Cascades. In the foothills, SR 202 passes Snoqualmie Falls, crosses the Snoqualmie River again, and (as Railroad Avenue S.E.) passes through the City of Snoqualmie. After Snoqualmie, SR 202 (now SE Snoqualmie-North Bend Road) reaches the town of North Bend, where it takes a 90-degree turn to the southwest and (as North Bend Boulevard) intersects I-90 at Exit 31.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
