My First Wikipedia Article -- WA SR-204 

I wrote my first article for Wikipedia last weekend.

WA-SR-204 Route ShieldWashington State Route 204 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I had done some reformatting on the SR-203 article (using the SR-202 article as a guide), because I drive both SR-202 and SR-203 fairly often, and I noticed that there was no article for SR-204. From the work on SR-203, I knew where to find all the required info, so I wrote the article on SR-204. When I get some more time I hope to write the articles for SR-206 & 207 as well.

Working with highway data like this info makes me want to get back into traffic engineering, and perhaps I can use the Wikipedia work to move me in that direction.

I know enough about the kind of information that WsDot probably has in their databases to know that much of the information about the Washington State Routes could be written and updated by bots. Furthermore I might be interested in writing some of them.
