State Route 901, commonly known as SR-901 or Highway 901, was a state highway in the U.S. state of Washington. SR-901 was created in 1964 and was decommissioned in 1992.
[edit] History
SR-901 was created in 1964 from Secondary State Highway 2D. At the time of its creation, SR-901 began at the intersection of Lake Washington Boulevard and State Route 520, on the border of Kirkland and Bellevue. It then traveled north along Lake Washington Blvd. to downtown Kirkland. At the intersection of Lake Washington Blvd. and Central Way, SR-901 turned right, travelling east along Central Way. It then continued as Redmond Way into Redmond turning south onto West Lake Sammamish Parkway when the roads intersected. It then followed West Lake Sammamish Parkway into Issaquah, ending at its intersection with State Route 900. SR-901 also had a spur leading from West Lake Sammamish Parkway into downtown Redmond along Redmond Way.
In 1971, SR-901 was broken into two parts. The western part, from SR-520 to the intersection of Redmond Way and West Lake Sammamish Parkway (including the spur into Redmond), was renamed State Route 908. The remainder retained the SR-901 designation, with one exception; West Lake Sammamish Parkway lost its state route designation from Exit 13 of Interstate 90 to its intersection with SR-900.
In 1992, SR-901's path was changed again; now it ran through the city of Sammamish along East Lake Sammamish Parkway from Front Street in Issaquah to State Route 202 east of downtown Redmond. Shortly thereafter, SR-901 was completely dropped as a state route in Washington.
At least one sign indicating the existence of SR-901 remains today; at the intersection of Leary Way and West Lake Sammamish Parkway, motorists are advised that they may turn onto SR-901.
