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.
