Background:
The Scenic and Recreational Highway System was created by statute in 1967. The process was modified in 1999 to improve Washington highways' competitiveness under the federal National Scenic Byways Program within the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century. A highway does not become part of the Scenic and Recreational Highway System unless approved by the Legislature.
Two sections of State Route 27 are designated as a scenic and recreational highway; no sections of State Route 278 are so designated.
Summary:
One section of State Route 27 that is designated as a scenic and recreational highway is extended by approximately 20 miles to the vicinity of Rockford. In addition, about five miles of State Route 278 are designated as a scenic and recreational highway.
