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.

“I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.”
—George Washington (1732–1799)
“A ship is a bit of terra firma cut off from the main; it is a state in itself; and the captain is its king.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“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)
