[edit] Laws

1907?
  • State Road No. 7, or the Snoqualmie Pass road: This road shall begin at North Bend, in King county, Washington, and run thence by the most practicable route to the summit of the Cascade mountains at the Snoqualmie pass; thence over the line as surveyed for the said road as nearly as practicable to Easton, in Kittitas county.

In 1909 it was extended to Seattle and Idaho east of Spokane.

[edit] Cascade Highway

A disambig page says this highway is called the Cascade highway. I've never heard of this before this is not the case, then the reference should be deleted from at least 2 disambig pages (Cascade and Cascade Highway).

Also, I didn't see the mention of Stevens Pass Highway, a name commonly used from Snohomish to Leavenworth.
