From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Route 906 (SR 906) is an arterial road that provides access to the ski areas, businesses, and homes at Snoqualmie Pass. The route connects Interstate 90 at exit 52 to Interstate 90 at exit 54. A local road goes under Interstate 90 at exit 53 and conncts with SR 906. SR 906 was created from another route after Interstate 90 replaced U.S. Route 10 (US 10).
[edit] History
The roadway currently signed as SR 906 was assigned many route numbers over the years. The Washington State Legislature established State Road No. 2 in 1909 over Snoqualmie Pass (elevation 3,022 feet) and Old Blewett Pass (elevation 4,071 feet). [2][3] The first car crossed Snoqualmie Pass on State Road 2 in 1915.[4] State Road 2 was concurrently designated U.S. Route 10 in 1926. State Road 2 was designated Primary State Highway 2 (PSH 2) in 1937. By 1940, US 10 was realigned to close to present day I-90. When US 10 was realigned, the former US 10 was designated US Route 2. In 1964, PSH 2 was renumbered State Route 2.[5] US 2 would later be realigned to its current route over Stevens Pass. The federal government removed US 10 from the U.S. Route system after I-90 was built.
