Route description

State Route 106 begins at a fork in the road on US Highway 101 in the census-designated place (CDP) Skokomish , north of Shelton . From this junction, the road heads southeast, spanning Skobob Creek, and then meanders along the banks of the Skokomish River and Annas Bay to the village of Union . From there, the route runs along the south bank of Hood Canal and past Twanoh State Park to the junction with Washington State Route 3 south of Belfair, where it ends. The section before the junction with SR 3 at Belfair was used by an average of 5,900 vehicles per day in 2011. In 1970, an average of 2000 vehicles per day traveled on the same route section.

Before 1964, the route from SR 106 was part of two other roads, PSH 14 (1937–1955) and PSH 21 (1955–1964).

The first state- maintained road on today's route was State Road 21, established in 1915 by the Washington State Legislature and the Department of Highways , which ran from Skokomish to Kingston . State Road 21 became State Road 14 in 1923 and was named Navy Yard Highway . When the state established the Primary and Secondary Highways in 1937 , State Road 14 became Primary State Highway 14 (PSH 14). The Skokomish– Gorst section was added to Primary State Highway 21 in 1955 . When the Washington highways were renumbered in 1964 , PSH 21 was split into SR 106, SR 3 and SR 104 .

In the past few years, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has made some improvements to the road. In 2005 the culvert on Skobob Creek was replaced by a bridge; the location is around 1.4 km east of Skokomish. A traffic light was installed in 2007 at the intersection of SR 106 / SR 3 south of Belfair.
