Washington State Route 28
State Route 28 (SR 28) is a 135.32-mile (217.78 km) long state highway serving Douglas, Grant, and Lincoln counties in the U.S. state of Washington. The highway begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 2 (US 2) and U.S. Route 97 (US 97) in East Wenatchee and travels east through Quincy, Ephrata, and Odessa before ending at US 2 in Davenport. The route parallels the Columbia River and a rail line operated by BNSF Railway through mostly rural areas.
SR 28 has been signed into law as the Sunset Highway and North Central Highway since 1915. These two highways later became State Road 7 and State Road 10, respectively, in a 1923 renumbering. The two roads kept their numeral designation past the 1937 renumbering, becoming Primary State Highway 7 (PSH 7) and Primary State Highway 10 (PSH 10), later joined in 1964 to form SR 28.

Famous quotes containing the words washington, state and/or route:
“... Washington was not only an important capital. It was a city of fear. Below that glittering and delightful surface there is another story, that of underpaid Government clerks, men and women holding desperately to work that some political pull may at any moment take from them. A city of men in office and clutching that office, and a city of struggle which the country never suspects.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”

“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
