State Route 19 (SR 19) is a 14.09-mile-long (22.68 km) state highway serving rural Jefferson County on the Olympic Peninsula in the U.S. state of Washington. The highway travels from SR 104 south of Port Ludlow and travels north through Chimacum and Port Hadlock-Irondale, intersecting SR 116, to end at SR 20 southwest of Port Townsend near the Jefferson County International Airport. SR 19 was established in 1991 on a roadway that had been built in the 1950s and paved in the 1960s.
SR 19 begins as Beaver Valley Road at an intersection with SR 104, a connector highway linking U.S. Route 101 to the Hood Canal Bridge, southwest the census-designated place of Port Ludlow. The highway travels north as the western boundary of Port Ludlow and intersects Oak Bay Road, the primary access road for the community, before leaving Port Ludlow along Chimacum Creek to the west and Oak Bay to the east. SR 19 crosses Chimacum Creek into the unincorporated community of Chimacum and becomes Rhody Drive and continues north into Port Hadlock-Irondale and intersecting Ness Corner Road, signed as SR 116, a connector to Indian Island and Fort Fagler State Park to the east. The highway leaves Port Hadlock-Irondale as the Airport Cutoff Road and serves Jefferson County International Airport before ending at an intersection with SR 20 southwest of Port Townsend west of Fort Townsend State Park.
