Washington State Route 26
State Route 26 (SR 26) is a state highway in the Grant, Adams, and Whitman counties, in the U.S. state of Washington. It extends 133.61 miles (215.02 km) from Interstate 90 (I-90) east of the community of Vantage, east to U.S. Route 195 (US 195) in Colfax. SR 26 intersects SR 24, SR 17, US 395, and SR 261 before ending in Colfax. The route serves as a connector between Vantage, Royal City, Othello, Washtucna, La Crosse, and Colfax.
SR 26 has its own spur route located in Colfax. SR 26 from Vantage to Washtucna was Secondary State Highway 7C (SSH 7C) from an unknown date until 1964, Washtucna to Dusty was SSH 11B, and from Dusty to US 195 in Colfax was US 295 from 1926 until 1967, when US 295 was removed from the system. That portion of SR 26 had also been part of State Road 3 from 1923 until 1937, when State Road 3 was replaced by Primary State Highway 3 (PSH 3). PSH 3 existed until 1964, when a highway renumbering occurred, which created SR 26.

Famous quotes containing the words washington, state and/or route:
“The government is huge, stupid, greedy and makes nosy, officious and dangerous intrusions into the smallest corners of life—this much we can stand. But the real problem is that government is boring. We could cure or mitigate the other ills Washington visits on us if we could only bring ourselves to pay attention to Washington itself. But we cannot.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“The drama is complete poetry. The ode and the epic contain it only in germ; it contains both of them in a state of high development, and epitomizes both.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“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)
