Wahkiakum County's location within Washington

The list of highways in Wahkiakum County, Washington includes all state highways located in Wahkiakum County, located on the Columbia River. These roads account for about 61.92 miles (99.65 km) of the highway system in Washington.[1] Most roads within the county are two-lane highways, while others are sections of four-lane highways or city streets. There are no interstate highways in Marquette County. There was one U.S. Highway that ran through the county, U.S. Highway 830 and two other currently signed routes. There were two other state routes that were removed and a removed proposal for a highway.

Roadways

The roadways in Wahkiakum County fall into one of three general classifications: state highway, county roads or city streets. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) maintains two categories of highways that ran or currently run through the county: US highways and regular state routes. There have been 13 state trunkline highway designations used in Wahkiakum County, three of which have been removed. Highways that are not Interstate or US highways bear a state route designation with the silhouette of George Washington's head as a marker.

State highways

U.S. highways

US 830 marker

There has been one U.S. highway in Wahkiakum County, U.S. Highway 830, which spanned for less than 40 miles (64 km) within the county.[1] The route was numbered as State Road 12 from 1923 until 1937,[2][3][4] however this designation was changed in 1926.[5] When it was designated, US 830 had directly served the communities of Rosburg, Grays River, Cathlamet, and East Cathlamet.[6] US 830 was a major artery for traffic going eastbound and westbound, as it is the only highway to connect the county to cities such as Naselle, Ilwaco, Longview and Kelso.

Other state highways

Of the six highway designations ever used in Wahkiakum County, five of them had been used for regular state routes. Three of these designations are no longer in use.
