State Route 970 (SR 970) is a road that connects Interstate 90 in Cle Elum, Washington to U.S. Route 97 in Virden. SR 970 intersects State Route 10 at Teanaway (3 miles east of Cle Elum). SR 970 provides a direct road between Cle Elum and Blewett Pass. This route saves 26 miles over going through Ellensburg on I-90 and US 97.["Official State Highway Map", Washington Department of Transportation.] ]History
The roadway currently signed as SR 970 has changed route numbers many times. 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).

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.][1964 Renumbering] US 2 would later be realigned to its current route over Stevens Pass.]ee also
