Route description
State Route 140 (SR 140) originated as 15th Street at an intersection with SR 14 in Washougal, located about 1.47 miles (2.37 km) east of the eastern terminus of SR 500 on the shoreline of the Columbia River.[4] 15th Street traveled north through Downtown, crossing the Vancouver–White Salmon rail route of the BNSF Railway and intersecting the former alignment of SR 14, E Street,[5] before turning northeastward onto 17th Street.[6] The highway crossed the Washougal River out of Washougal in a large forest and became the Washougal River Road. The roadway paralleled the river northeast and later east into the forests and mountains of Skamania County until the river turned north. SR 140, renamed Canyon Creek Road, turned southeast and encountered a series of sharp turns until terminating at SR 14 in Prindle.[7]
History
SR 140 began as Canyon Creek Road and first appeared on a map in 1911.
