First reassurance shield after the multiplex ends. We are about to jump on the old US-10 alignment out to SR 10. Before 1987 (when I-82 was completed), this was SR 131 from here to SR 970 (which was US-97)

Mileage sign as we head out of Ellensburg. At this point, I’m not sure what the purpose of SR 10 is, and I think even from here the fastest way to Cle Elum is via the freeway. I have a feeling in the next round of decommissioning SR 10 will go away unless I’m missing something hugely obvious.
