State Route 160 (SR 160) is a 7.47-mile-long (12.02 km) long state highway serving Kitsap and King counties in the U.S. state of Washington. The highway begins at an interchange with SR 16 in Port Orchard and travels east to the Southworth ferry terminal, where the route continues onto a ferry to Vashon Heights, the former southern terminus of SR 339, and further east to end at the Fauntleroy ferry terminal in Seattle.
SR 160 was established during the 1964 highway renumbering beginning at SR 16 west of Port Orchard traveling east to Southworth along the Carr Inlet. The corridor was previously a branch of Primary State Highway 14 (PSH 14), established in 1937. The highway was moved south in 1991 and the Southworth–Vashon–Fauntleroy ferry was added in 1994.
SR 160 begins as Sedgewick Road at a diamond interchange with parent route SR 16 south of Port Orchard in Kitsap County. The highway briefly travels northeast before turning east and entering East Port Orchard, serving a suburban area north of Long Lake. The roadway continues east and passes John Sedgwick Junior High School before turning north into Southworth, Within Southworth, Sedgewick Road ends as SR 160 travels onto a ferry route owned and operated by Washington State Ferries (WSF).
