"The Sunset Highway was the main East-West route from Seattle to Spokane in the early 1920's. The road went from Lake Washington thru Renton and North Bend, over Snoqualmie Pass (on the old switchback road between Denny Creek and the summit), thru Cle Elum and over Blewett to Wenatchee. From there, it connected to Spokane. Initially, the highway was known as State Rd #7 from 1914 to 1920. In 1923, the name was changed to Primary State Hwy #2. In 1925, it was changed to US Highway 10. These frequent changes were responsible for much confusion about the name of the highway."
