House Committee on Transportation
Background: The Washington State Transportation Commission (Commission) is responsible for reviewing requests from local jurisdictions and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to transfer state highways into the local road system, or to transfer local roads into the state highway system. The Commission is then required to forward these recommendations to the Legislature for formal transfer through legislation. The criteria for evaluating jurisdictional road transfers are laid out in RCW 47.17.001.
Legislation passed in 2009 transferred the responsibility for reviewing route jurisdictional transfers from the Transportation Improvement Board to the Commission.
A portion of State Route (SR) 908 was transferred to the City of Kirkland in 1992. The remaining portion of SR 908 runs from Interstate 405 in Kirkland to SR 202 in Redmond.
Summary: SR 908 is removed from the state highway system.
