RCW 47.17.571It's not so much a reality as a state of mind. . .
State route No. 339.
A state highway to be known as state route number 339 is established as follows:
Beginning at the junction of state route number 160 at the state ferry terminal at Vashon Heights, thence via the state ferry system northeasterly to the junction with state route number 519 at the state ferry terminal in Seattle.

Wonder why they did not give it number 160 or 519? After all, Washington State Hwy. 20 starts at U.S. 101, crosses Puget Sound on the Port Townsend ferry, and continues east as the North Cascades Highway.
It would have to be a spur off SR 160, since that continues past Vashon Heights to Fauntleroy.
I'm not sure why it's not part of 519, other than that SR 304 and SR 305 also intersect SR 519 at the downtown dock.
This wasn't the only oddity I found. SR 99 is discontinuous in Tukwila. The stretch between SR 518 and SR 599 is no longer a state highway. This means that 599 and 99 are end-to-end. The freeway just randomly changes numbers when it crosses Pacific Highway South.
Wonder why they made that stretch of 99 no longer a state highway? It gets more traffic than most state highways, especially those in eastern Washington. Sounds like a compromise in some committee somewhere sometime.
