Comments:

1. The sentence "In 1937, the Primary state highways were established and State Road 4 became Primary State Highway 4 (PSH 4), while the former Candian branch became Secondary State Highway 4A (SSH 4A) and another highway, extending from Lind to Wilbur, became SSH 4B." sounds wordy. Also fix spelling of "Candian".
2. The sentence "Passing farmland in the flat landscape, SR 21 intersects SR 26 and continues through an unnamed coulee to intersect Smart Road, the former alignment of SR 21, and intersect U.S. Route 395 (US 395) in a diamond interchange in Lind." needs to be split into multiple sentences.
3. "intersecting an old alignment of Interstate 90 (I-90) and interchanging with I-90 at exit 206, another diamond interchange."; I don't understand how I-90 can be realigned, maybe a pre-interstate alignment.
4. In sentence "North of Wilbur, the roadway approches Speigle Canyon and makes several turns before exiting the canyon and nearing Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake, at 80,000 acres (323.75 km2), the lake is the largest in Washington.", the comma after Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake should be a semicolon. Also fix spelling of "approches".
5. "a 80-foot (24.38 m) long toll-free ferry"? Is the ferry route or the ferry boat 80 feet long?
6. Can you briefly describe who Elisha P. Ferry is?
7. "SR 21 passes Keller and continues inland into mountians on the banks of the river": change "mountains" to "mountainous areas".
8. "causing this section to be the busiest": rephrase to "making this section the busiest"
9. In the History section, there is a lot of detail about the history of the Keller Ferry. Much of this information should be moved to the Keller Ferry article with only a brief summary in the WA 21 article.
10. "the Lincoln and Ferry counties", remove "the".
11. "As of 2009, WSDOT is $5.5 million USD short of being able to replace the aging Martha S. Design work has already been completed and the ferry is not expected to be replaced soon." is a run-on sentence.
12. "Old SR 90"? Was State Route 90 a predecessor to Interstate 90. I thought US 10 was?
13. It is necessary to use a campground symbol to indicate a state park. In addition, how can a state park be considered a "Major intersection"?

I am placing the article on hold Dough4872 (talk) 16:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

• Done –CG 16:59, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
• Answers to your querys: 9. It is nessesary for the history of the ferry...look at State Route 74 (New York-Vermont), a FA that shows the history of the ferry. The main article will be expanded at a later date to include the info. 12. SR 90 is WSDOT's numbering of the highway, see the State Highway Log, 2008 for details. –CG 16:59, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
