State Route 119 is a highway that begins at U.S. Route 101 at Hoodsport, Washington. It goes north into the Olympic Mountains where it ends at Lake Cushman, Washington.

SR 119 is also known as N. Lake Cushman Road. When it enters Olympic National Forest, it becomes Forest Service Road 24, which normally provides the only access to the Staircase area of Olympic National Park. FS-24 was closed between June 26, 2006 and May 1, 2007, due to the Bear Gulch II fire.[2][3] FS-24 closed again November 1, 2007 due to the fire damage.[4]
