State Route 162 (SR 162) is a 17.37-mile-long (27.95 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Washington, serving rural Pierce County. The highway travels from an interchange with SR 410 in Sumner and travels south along the Puyallup River to Orting and northeast to South Prairie, ending at an intersection with SR 165 near Buckley. SR 162 was established in 1964 as the successor to Secondary State Highway 5E (SSH 5E), codified in 1937. The highway crossed the Puyallup River northwest of Orting on the McMillin Bridge, which opened in 1934 and was replaced with a newer bridge that opened in 2015.
