State Route 6 is a numbered state highway in Washington, United States It extends about 52 miles from Raymond in the southwest to Interstate 5 at Chehalis. It crosses a region of uplands that has been extensively logged.
SR-6 originates at the junction of U.S. Route 101 in the town of Raymond near Willapa Bay, and from there heads east, following the course of the Willapa River for about 20 miles into the Willapa Hills, reaching the summit at Pluvius and becoming a single lane briefly at two points. SR-6 crosses the Chehalis River at Pe Ell, skirts the Doty Hills, and then follows the meandering course of the river east until it terminates at I-5 exit 77 in the town of Chehalis.

State Route 603 was a former spur route of State Route 6. It ran from Interstate 5 in Winlock northwest through Napavine to end at SR 6 about two miles west of the I-5 bridge in Chehalis. Several changes were made to the state highways throughout Washington in 1992, and at that time the section from SR 6 to Winlock was decommissioned, and the section from Winlock to I-5 became a portion of State Route 505.
