Washington Boulevard is the longest continuous east-west arterial road in Los Angeles, California. It starts by the Pacific Ocean just west of Pacific Avenue in Marina del Rey, and ends far to the east in the city of Whittier, on Whittier Boulevard. It is south of Venice Boulevard for most of its length. At Wade Street, Washington Place is formed adjacent and parallel and lasts until just east of Sepulveda Boulevard, where it merges back into Washington Boulevard. Washington merges into Culver Boulevard briefly, but forms back into its own street near the southern end of Robertson Boulevard. Washington Boulevard carries the Metro Blue Line in the center median from Flower Street to Long Beach Avenue south of Downtown L.A. (Source, Thomas Guide, 1997 edition)
