Route description
SR 305 begins at
SR 305 leaves the ferry in Winslow on Bainbridge Island and travels north through the island's interior, passing Bainbridge High School before turning northwest near Murden Cove. The highway travels over Agate Pass on the truss cantilever Agate Pass Bridge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[9] SR 305 continues northwest along the coast of Liberty Bay, passing through Lemolo and entering Poulsbo to intersect the southern terminus of SR 307. The highway continues northwest to end at a partial cloverleaf interchange with the SR 3 freeway north of the city.[10][11]
Every year, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2011, WSDOT calculated that between 5,300 and 27,000 vehicles per day used the highway, mostly in Poulsbo.[12] The Seattle–Bainbridge ferry was the busiest route in the Puget Sound, carrying 6.119 million passengers and 1.194 million vehicles in 2012.[13]
