SR 92 follows the general route of the Monte Cristo and Everett Railroad, which was completed in 1894 and later paralleled by a local road. The highway to Granite Falls was transferred to the state government in 1937 and designated as part of Secondary State Highway 15A (SSH 15A), which continued southwesterly to the Hewitt Avenue Trestle. During the 1964 state highway renumbering, SSH 15A was split between SR 204 and SR 92, the latter of which was moved to a new highway bypassing downtown Lake Stevens in the 1960s.
Recently, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has completed small projects to improve SR 92, including two roundabouts within the first two miles of the highway's western terminus and a roundabout/truck bypass of Granite Falls.
