Washington Roads - Alt. US 101




The shield above is the first southbound, and less than a minute later, I'm at the end of the route. That's the idea behind this route, bridging a 3,000 foot divide between segments of US 101 east of Ilwaco. Obviously, this should be the through route and the long extension west to the coast and back east should be an Alternate instead, or maybe Business US 101, but someone complained about losing a major highway, so the savvy traveler will want to remember this shortcut.


Here are the NB signs at the other end. Three signs, three different layouts, fonts, dividers... but one shield width. It fits, so it sits.

Onto parent US 101
