U.S. Routes in Washington are owned and maintained by the U.S. state of Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is the state agency responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and operations of the U.S. Routes in Washington. The U.S. Routes in Washington currently covers convert|1821.85|mi|km|1|link=on[Washington State Department of Transportation, [http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/mapsdata/TDO/PDF_and_ZIP_Files/HwyLog2006.pdf State Highway Log] , 2006] and consists of four primary routes and six auxiliary routes. The U.S. Route with the longest segment in Washington is US 12 at convert|430.80|mi|km|1.][Washington State Department of Transportation, [http://srview.wsdot.wa.gov/ State Route Web] ] ]The construction of the U.S. Routes in Washington actually began well before these routes were designated as U.S. Routes. Most U.S. Routes were part of Washington's primary and secondary highway system that existed from 1937 to 1970. Six U.S. Routes have been moved or removed from the system and do not enter Washington anymore.[cite web |url=http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/hwysofwastate/us.html |title=Removed U.S. Routes in Washington |author=Highways of Washington |accessdate=2008-06-18] ]U.S. Routes are routes that can be a regular two-laned road or a large freeway, unlike Interstates, which can only be freeways for the route's full length. Also, U.S. Routes, like Interstates, must connect one state to another, with a few exceptions, unlike state highways, which sometimes go across borders as other state's routes, but going across states is not required. Also, auxiliary routes in the Interstate system can stay in only one state, but auxiliary routes in the U.S. route system must go across at least two states, with a few exceptions.
