Comment from Carnildo
I drove this a few weeks ago. There are no markings to indicate that Columbia Street or Wahluke Street are part of WA-24, or that WA-24 starts north of the WA-26 underpass. There is, however, a very nice "End WA-24" sign just *south* of the underpass.
(It was somewhat disconcerting to have my GPS tell me to take a left turn on to a narrow, unlit road it called "WA-24".)

This is not technically part of the highway, but you have to take this way going from Westbound WA-26 to Westbound WA-24, or when going from eastbound WA-24 to westbound WA-26. This is also the way all of the highway signs direct traffic to.

Tell me how you would go from Northbound Broadway avenue to Westbound highway 26, without taking Columbia Street

Navigation systems use the "name" and/or "ref" fields of roads when giving directions. Giving something a name that doesn't reflect the signs on the ground causes those systems to give bad directions.
Yes, the shortest route from eastbound WA-24 to westbound WA-26 is via Columbia Street, but that doesn't make Columbia Street part of WA-24. Calling that just serves to confuse people.
