History
When the primary and secondary highways were created in 1937, Secondary State Highway 15A (SSH 15A) ran from Primary State Highway 15 (PSH 15), which would later become U.S. Route 2 (US 2) in 1946, to a brief concurrency with SSH 1A and northeast to Granite Falls. The Washington State Legislature replaced the Primary and secondary highways with a new numbering system during the highway renumbering in 1964; PSH 15 became US 2, SSH 15A from US 2 to SSH 1A became SR 204, the SSH 1A concurrency became part of SR 9 and the rest of SSH 15A from SSH 1A to Granite Falls became SR 92.
