State Route 215 (SR 215) is a 6.24-mile long (10.04 km) state highway serving Okanogan County in the U.S. state of Washington. The highway travels northeast parallel to the Okanogan River from SR 20 in Okanogan to SR 155 Spur in Downtown Omak. SR 215 turns east to end at an intersection with SR 20 and U.S. Route 97 (US 97) in North Omak. The highway was previously part of State Road 10 and Primary State Highway 10 (PSH 10), concurrent with US 97, until a bypass of Omak was built in the 1960s. SR 20 was routed onto the highway after the 1964 highway renumbering, but was moved to the bypass and replaced by SR 215 in 1973.
SR 215 begins as 2nd Avenue in Okanogan at an intersection with SR 20, which turns southeast to cross the Okanogan River. 2nd Avenue crosses over Salmon Creek before it empties into the Okanogan River at Alma Park. The highway continues northeast and passes the Okanogan Community Library before leaving Okanogan for Omak, becoming Elmway. SR 215 passes the Omak Memorial Cemetery and Mid-Valley Hospital before becoming Okoma Drive and entering Downtown Omak. The roadway turns east onto 4th Avenue and back north onto Main Street, passing the local post office, before intersecting Omak Avenue, signed as SR 155 Spur. Main Street continues north and passes the Omak campus of Wenatchee Valley College, before turning east onto Riverside Drive and ending at an intersection with SR 20 and US 97.
