State Route 823 is a state highway in Yakima County in the U.S. state of Washington. It runs for 5 miles (8.0 km) from a junction with Interstate 82, through the streets of Selah northward to a junction with State Route 821, which is also known as Canyon Road and Firing Center Road. Although not signed as such, SR 823 effectively functions as a Business-82 loop through Selah.
State Route 823 begins at Exit 30 from I-82 a short distance southeast of Selah, one mile (1.6 km) north of the junction of U.S. Route 12 and I-82. Exit 30 is the Rest Haven Road/South Selah exit. SR 823 then crosses the Yakima River and follows Rest Haven Road NNW about 0.9-mile (1.4 km), where its name changes to South Selah Road as it enters the town of Selah. At the southern edge of Selah, the road turns due north and becomes South First Street, the main street of Selah. First Street continues north until the intersection with Naches Avenue at the center of downtown Selah. SR 823 turns right (east) onto East Naches Avenue, continues one-tenth of a mile to the intersection with North Wenas Road, then turns NNE onto North Wenas Road. SR 823 continues 1.2 miles (1.9 km) on North Wenas Road to the junction with Harrison Road, where the highway then turns northeast. SR 823 follows Harrison Road as it runs northeast and then east, re-crosses the Yakima River, and continues to its terminus at State Route 821, known locally as Firing Center Road to the east and Canyon Road to the north. Firing Center Road is so named because it is the entrance to the Yakima Training Center, a large U.S. Army center for weapons training in the hills east of Yakima.
