State Route 3 is a numbered state highway in Washington, United States. It extends almost 60 miles (97 km) from Shelton in the southwest to the east end of the Hood Canal Floating Bridge in the northeast.
Route description
SR 3 originates at the junction of U.S. Route 101 in Shelton on the Olympic Peninsula, and from there heads northeast to Allyn, after which the Kitsap Peninsula begins. SR 3 then runs through Belfair, Gorst, and Bremerton. Just south of Bremerton, the highway becomes a freeway and stays that way for about 15 miles (24 km), through Chico and Silverdale, before becoming a two-lane road again just northwest of Poulsbo. SR 3 ends at State Route 104 at the eastern end of the Hood Canal Floating Bridge.
