Route Description
SR 3 originates at the junction of U.S. Route 101 in Shelton on the Olympic Peninsula, and from there heads northeast to Allyn, after which the Kitsap Peninsula begins. SR 3 then runs through Belfair, Gorst, and Bremerton. Just south of Bremerton, the highway becomes a freeway and stays that way for about 15 miles (24 km), through Chico and Silverdale, before becoming a two-lane road again just northwest of Poulsbo. SR 3 ends at State Route 104 at the eastern end of the Hood Canal Floating Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
