Route Description
State Route 260 (SR 260) begins at an intersection with SR 17 west of Connell in rural Franklin County. The highway travels east and turns southeast into Connell, traveling over a rail line owned by BNSF Railway and used on the Amtrak Empire Builder route between Pasco and Spokane. After intersecting U.S. Route 395 (US 395) in the busiest section of the entire route, a diamond interchange that received a daily average of 2,800 vehicles in 2011, the roadway continues east through the Washtucna Coulee and passes south of Sulphur Lake before entering Kahlotus. As SR 260 passes through Kahlotus, it forms the southern terminus of SR 21, going north towards Lind, and the northern terminus of SR 263, serving the Lower Monumental Dam. The road exits the city travelling east to Lake Kahlotus and Washtucna Lake, paralleling the Columbia Plateau Trail northeast to the beginning of a concurrency with SR 261. The two highways enter the Adams County city of Washtucna and become Main Street before an intersection with SR 26, where SR 260 ends and SR 261 continues to Ritzville.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
