[edit] Route description

SR 3 originates at the junction of U.S. Route 101 in Shelton on the Olympic Peninsula, and from there heads northeast to Allyn, after which the Kitsap Peninsula begins. SR 3 then runs through Belfair, Gorst, and Bremerton. Just south of Bremerton, the highway becomes a freeway and stays that way for about 15 miles, through Chico and Silverdale, before becoming a two-lane road again just northwest of Poulsbo. SR 3 ends at State Route 104 at the eastern end of the Hood Canal Floating Bridge.
