In 1922, the Sunset highway was improved, and the route changed. After reaching Cle Elum from Seattle, the new route went north over Blewett Pass (what today is known as Old Blewett Pass seen below) to Peshastin and then east to Wenatchee.
As a longtime resident of the Wenatchee Valley, I've driven Sunset Highway, in East Wenatchee more than I can count. This stretch of road is part of a historic highway highway system that connected the Seattle area with Spokane.
