The U.S. Routes in Washington are segments of the United States Numbered Highway System that are owned and maintained by the U.S. state of Washington through the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The United States Numbered Highway System in Washington covers {{convert|1,870|mi|km|1}} and consists of eight highways, divided into four primary routes and four auxiliary routes.
The United States Numbered Highway System was approved and established on November 11, 1926 by the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) and included eleven routes traveling through Washington.{{cite map |author1= Bureau of Public Roads |author2= American Association of State Highway Officials |date= November 11, 1926 |title= United States System of Highways Adopted for Uniform Marking by the American Association of State Highway Officials |url= https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_System_of_Highways_Adopted_for_Uniform_Marking_by_the_American_Association_of_State_Highway_Officials.jpg |scale= 1:7,000,000 |location= Washington, DC |publisher= United States Geological Survey |oclc= 32889555 |access-date= November 7, 2013 |via= Wikimedia Commons |name-list-style= amp}}
In 1961, the state introduced a set of route markers in Olympia that were colored based on destination and direction rather than route.{{cite news |date=July 11, 1961 |title=Highway Hues |page=4 |work=The Olympian |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-olympian-highway-hues/127643535/ |via=Newspapers.com |accessdate=July 4, 2023}}
