State Route 203, also known as SR 203, is a numbered United States state highway in Washington. State Route 203 begins at its junction with State Route 202 across the Snoqualmie River just north of Fall City. It then heads north along the east side of the Snoqualmie Valley for 24.26 miles before reaching its terminus in Monroe, where it meets U.S. Route 2. SR 203 offers brilliant views of the Snoqualmie River Valley and Mount Rainier on a clear day.

State Route 203 is also the primary connector to the towns of Carnation and Duvall, and can become slightly congested during heavy traffic hours. For the majority of its length, SR 203 has a speed limit of 50-55 MPH but drops considerably in the business districts of Carnation and Duvall. Upon entering the city of Monroe, the speed limit drops from 55 MPH to 35 MPH then to, 25 MPH.
