Hello and welcome to the front page of the '''Washington State Highways Task Force''' ('''WASH''')! If you would like to help, feel free to jump in and start editing articles on Washington state routes and related highways. Guidelines and resources to help you add content to articles are available at ] and ], respectively.

==Highways to include==


{| class=wikitable
To clarify what highways this WP will include: ALL Interstate, US, and state highways.
!Road Type
However, multi-state US highways (2,12,95,97,101,195,197-technically) and multi-state Interstate hwys (5,82,90,205) get a {{tl|routeboxint}} or a {{tl|routeboxus}}. For these multi-state routes, under route description, make a sub-heading for WA and put the route description, state law, leg. history, etc. in there.

==Structure== ===Categories===
'''The best example of an article that follows this format is ]. '''


*]
Articles should best start with a short description of the state highway. This description should say where the route begins and ends, as well as any discontinuities, as defined by law. Unique details about this route may be added, but use sparingly.
Use a sort key- for Washington State Route 3 the key would be:

<nowiki>]</nowiki>
===Route Description===
*]

Same sort key
A physical description of the route should be given here. Cities and communities the route traverses should be mentioned here, as well as segments of freeway.
*]

Same sort key
===History===

The history of this route number should be discussed here.

===State Law===
Use the RCW for your highway. If your highway is a Spur, Alternate, or Business Route, and has no separate RCW entry use the same RCW number as the parent. If your Highway does not have an RCW entry, put "n/a" and try to figure out why it is referred to, but has to legal entry.


The description of the route as defined by state law should be quoted here. The quote must include the section of the RCW where the definition can be found. All descriptions should use the <nowiki><pre><nowiki></nowiki> markup.

See ] for an example.

Below the code excerpt you should cite where you got the code, using the <nowiki><font size=-2></nowiki> markup.

===External Links===

This is where all external links should be placed. For those relating to the route, please include the following websites. Government or official links should go first. Road enthusiasts links should follow.
Example: For ], these links would be used:

<nowiki>]</nowiki>

External links to points of interests should also go here.

Sorry it's so messy, I ran out of time.

==Naming of articles==
All articles need to be named "Washington State Route " plus the number. "Washington State Highway " redirects need to be created as well.

====What these arguments do====

Parameters:
*''previous_route'': The route that numerically comes before the article route. (e.g. Route 81 precedes Route 82)
*''next_route'': The route that numerically comes after the article route. (e.g. Route 83 follows 82)
*''previous_type'': Interstate (for '''ALL''' interstates), Highway (for state highways), U.S. Highway (for US highways). This field specifies whether the previous route (for the browse box) .
*''next_type'': Same as above except this field is for the next highway.
*''type'': Same as above but this field is for the article route.
*''child'': What is this highway a child of? (See ] for help) Enter Primary for primary routes, WASR if the parent is a state route, Int if the parent is an Interstate, and US if the parent is a US Highway.
*''parent'': If the route is a secondary route then enter what the parent is (like this: "101" if the parent is US-101). '''If you entered Primary above then you need to enter this parameter but leave the field empty; otherwise funny symbols will appear after Primary State Route.'''
*''article_route'': The article route number.
*''section'': The section of the RCW that describes the article route. (see above for details)
*''junction'': The junctions and mile posts of the article route. See below for instructions on the table.
*''length_mi'': The length of the route, in ].
*''length_km'': The length of the route, in ].
*''cities'' : List of '''linked''' cities/towns that the route passes along, delimited using a HTML linebreak(&gt;br>)
*''direction'': The route's direction, either '''North-South''' or '''East-West'''.

====What goes in the browse part====
Example: For WA-3, US-2 is the previous route and WA-4 is the next route.

US Highways and Interstates are placed in numerical order with the state routes (including 3dis). Spurs are placed after their mainline route (for example, WA-16: previous route would be WA-15 and next route would be WA-16 Spur, and the spur's next route would be WA-17).

====Junctions and Mile Posts Columns====

To create these columns, simply add the following to the "junction" parameter:

<nowiki><tr><td align=right>Junction route number and link to its article<td align=left>Milepost</nowiki>

To add more routes, simply copy and paste this code into the "junction" parameter as many times as needed. The code will in turn form two columns: The right column, titled '''MILE POST''', which gives the status of the article route according to its legal definition; and the left column, titled '''JUNCTION''', which gives the status of the junction route it meets. The right column lists the point along the article route (in miles) where it meets the junction route. Generally, if the right column is white, it means that the article route physically exists (it is constructed, traversable, state-maintained and signed as a state highway) and that it meets the junction route at the given county and milepost. The left column lists the junction routes. If the left column is white, it means that the respective junction route physically meets the article route at an interchange. Also, junction routes in '''bold''' denote the start, discontinuities, and the end of the route as defined by law and may include a route, a street, a city boundary, or a point of interest.

Background colors in any of the '''JUNCTION''' or '''MILE POST''' columns' boxes designates a different status of the junction route or the article route, respectively. In this case, either the junction route or article route does not meet the other at the given milepost, for a variety of reasons. These background colors should be added in the "td" section of the tables (Example: <nowiki><td align=left bgcolor=#d3d3d3></nowiki>). The following is the key:

<table border=1 align=center>
<tr><td>]
<td align=right>Junction route...
<td align=left>Article route at this milepost...
<tr>
<td bgcolor=#d3d3d3>lightgrey #d3d3d3
<td bgcolor=#d3d3d3 align=right>...is deleted.
<td bgcolor=#d3d3d3 align=left>...is deleted.
<tr><td bgcolor=#dda0dd>plum #dda0dd
<td bgcolor=#dda0dd align=right>...is unconstructed.
<td bgcolor=#dda0dd align=left>...is unconstructed.
<tr><td bgcolor=#ffffe0>lightyellow #ffffe0
<td bgcolor=#ffffe0 align=right>...is closed to traffic.
<td bgcolor=#ffffe0 align=left>...is closed traffic.
<tr><td bgcolor=#ffdead>navajowhite #ffdead
<td bgcolor=#ffdead align=right>...does not have an interchange with the article route.
<td bgcolor=#ffdead align=left>...does not have an interchange with junction route.
<tr><td rowspan=2 bgcolor=#afeeee>paleturquoise #afeeee
<td rowspan=2 bgcolor=#afeeee align=right>...shares alignment with the article route. If this route number is in '''bold''' letters, then the shared alignment belongs the junction route. If this route number is in "regular" letters, then the shared alignment belongs to the article route. If the first entry is "bold" and the second "regular" or vise-versa the shared alignment is shared.
<td bgcolor=#afeeee align=left>...merges with the junction route and shares alignment.
<tr>
<td bgcolor=#afeeee align=left>...alights from the junction route and continues.
</table>

====How to do the county headings====

For Pierce County:

<nowiki>{{routeboxwa/county|Pierce}}</nowiki>

This will produce:

<table><td width="200" bgcolor=efefef align=center><font size=1>]</font></td></table>

Hello and welcome to the front page of the Washington State Highways Task Force (WASH)! If you would like to help, feel free to jump in and start editing articles on Washington state routes and related highways. Guidelines and resources to help you add content to articles are available at Structure and /resources, respectively.

Scope and goals

Numbered Washington State routes as designated by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). This includes all signed routes (such as Washington State Route 99), former routes (such as Primary State Highway 1 (Washington) or Washington State Route 111), and proposed routes (such as Washington State Route 704).

Basically, the purpose of this project is to clean up the Washington State Highway articles (Washington State Route articles) and make them conform to the same structure just like the other states.

What you can do

To-do list for Misplaced Pages:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Washington: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2021-10-11

  • Eliminate remaining articles below B-Class:
  • Remove references to Highways of Washington State, as it is not a reliable source.
    • There are 0 pages that have been identified as using HoWS as a source as of 18 January 2025.
    • Remember, these should be added as an external link, but not to be used as references.
  • Refresh older articles that were written before reliable access to local newspaper archives and the WSDOT Library.
