The roads Harrisville
A United States highway through the middle, a state highway along the edge, and an address system belonging to another city
Harrisville Road and the grid, or why the busiest road here is also the border.
Almost everything printed about this city's roads has the numbers the wrong way round. Washington Boulevard through Harrisville is SR-235, not US-89, and for most of the stretch a reader would call the retail corridor it is the line between Harrisville and Ogden rather than a street inside either. US-89 is Harrisville Road, the diagonal through the middle of town, and then Highway 89 north of it. Every address here sits on Ogden's street numbers, carries an Ogden postal community, and falls on one of two different postcodes.
My licence and my daily work sit at the far south end of the state, three hundred miles from this valley, so these pages are researched rather than lived. Everything on them was taken where it is issued: Harrisville City's own history, parks, utilities, events, directory and general plan pages; the city council minutes of 9 June 2020 posted on the Utah Public Notice Website; the Utah Division of Water Rights public water supplier record; the Utah Geospatial Resource Center for municipal boundaries, the Weber County assessor's roll, the national hydrography layer, the state road centerline and the state board of education school layer; the federal elevation point service; the North View Fire District; the transit authority's own schedules; the Census Bureau's American Community Survey and its boundary geometry; and the operators that publish their own addresses. Every figure carries the day it was read. A Weber and Morgan partner agent takes the ground level work.
The short answer
US-89 through Harrisville is Harrisville Road, and then Highway 89 north of the diagonal. It is not Washington Boulevard. Washington Boulevard here is SR-235, and for most of the stretch a reader would call the retail corridor it is not a street inside the city at all: it is the boundary between Harrisville and Ogden. The Wall Avenue reach here is SR-204, not SR-126. Every road inside the city carries Ogden's address system and Ogden's postal community, on one of two postcodes. There is no freeway interchange in Harrisville, no rail station, and one bus route down the boulevard that is also the city line. Checked 21 August 2026.
The live question
Which road is US-89, and is Washington Boulevard even in this city?
Take the second half first, because it is the one that costs people money. Of the Washington Boulevard segments that touch Harrisville, eleven carry Harrisville on one side and Ogden on the other, one is Ogden on both sides, and two carry North Ogden on one side. The boulevard is a boundary, not a street through the middle of the city, and a business or a house on the east kerb of it is in Ogden. Harrisville Road repeats the pattern further south, where seven of fifteen segments read one city on one kerb and another on the other. Read in the state road centerline at the Utah Geospatial Resource Center on 21 August 2026.
Now the route numbers, and this is where almost everything published about Harrisville goes wrong, including this site's own practical city guide, which calls Washington Boulevard US-89 and calls Wall Avenue SR-126. The state centerline carries the transportation department's own route attribution and it is unambiguous. Washington Boulevard through this city is route 0235P, which is SR-235. The Wall Avenue reach here is 0204P, SR-204. And US-89, route 0089P, comes up out of Ogden on the Harrisville Road diagonal and then turns north as Highway 89 toward Pleasant View and Brigham City. Both of those are UDOT owned class A routes and both run through the middle of the city.
That single correction reorganises the whole geography of the place. Harrisville Road is not a local street with a city name on it, it is a United States highway, and it is the reason there is a city here to name at all. The diagonal is the old road; the numbered grid was laid around it afterwards, which is why the street pattern breaks at an angle across the middle of an otherwise rectangular city. Every account of Harrisville that treats Washington Boulevard as the spine has the city the wrong way round: the boulevard is the edge, and the highway through the middle is the reason.
The traffic numbers make the same point in a different currency. On the 2017 counts carried in the state centerline, SR-235 through here ran between 26,000 and 32,000 vehicles a day, while US-89 through the middle of the city ran 14,000 on the Harrisville Road reach and 15,000 on the Highway 89 reach north of it. The busiest road in Harrisville is the one that is also its border. Those figures carry a 2017 year stamp in the layer itself and the transportation department publishes newer ones, so treat them as the shape of the thing rather than as this year's number.
The routes
Three state highways and a handful of city collectors, and two of the three are numbered differently from how everybody prints them.
Every road in the city, with the transportation department's own route attribution, the owner on the data row, the daily traffic count and its year stamp, and the posted speed. Read in the state road centerline on 21 August 2026. The traffic counts in that layer are stamped 2017 and are dated by construction.
| The road as signed | Route number | Owner | Daily traffic, 2017 count | What it decides |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Washington Blvd | SR-235 | UDOT, class A | 26,000 to 32,000, posted 50 | The city's eastern boundary for most of its length, and the retail corridor. It is not a street inside Harrisville and a premises on the far kerb is in Ogden |
| Harrisville Rd, the diagonal | US-89 | UDOT, class A | 14,000, posted 50 | The old road the city grew along, and the reason the street grid breaks at an angle. The Walmart, the Bicentennial Cabin and the older commercial ground are all on it |
| Hwy 89, north of the diagonal | US-89 | UDOT, class A | 15,000, posted 55 | The route north toward Pleasant View and Brigham City. The main park, the fishing pond and Greenwood Charter School are all addressed on it |
| Wall Ave | SR-204 | UDOT, class A | 14,000, posted 50 | The western arterial through the Ogden corridor. This site's practical city guide calls it SR-126, which is the Wall Avenue route further south |
| 2000 N | City route 3457P | City of Harrisville, class C | 500, posted 25 | The east to west collector past Orion Jr High at 370 West 2000 North, and one of the quietest counted roads in the city |
| 1100 N | City route 3436P | City of Harrisville, class C | 1,000, posted 25 | The southern cross street, on the Ogden grid like everything else here |
| 2550 N | City route 3455P | City of Harrisville and North Ogden, class C | 1,000, posted 50 | The city's northern edge on the grid, shared with North Ogden, and the address line for Majestic School |
| 750 W | City route 3375P | City of Harrisville, class C | Not carried in the layer, posted 25 | The western corridor, and the address of the largest commercial land holding in the city at 1556 North 750 West |
Route numbers, owners, speeds and counts read in the state road centerline on 21 August 2026, which carries the transportation department's own attribution. The traffic values are stamped 2017 in the layer and newer counts are published by the agency. Class A is a state highway; class C is a city or county road eligible for state road funds. The city also owns North Street, Larsen Lane and a reach of Harrisville Road under its own route numbers.
One absence in that table is worth naming. There is no freeway interchange in Harrisville. The city's western edge stops well short of Interstate 15, and the interchange a Harrisville driver uses heading north is at 2700 North, which is in Farr West and Pleasant View ground rather than in this city. This companion does not claim it and does not print a drive time to it, because no public body publishes one for anywhere in this city.
The other absence is the state's winter list. Not one Harrisville road appears on the transportation department's seasonal closure list, which sounds unremarkable until you look at the region around it: the pass road over the ridge to the north east, the canyon road above Ogden and the high road above the bench all carry seasonal or temporary status that moves from year to year. Down here on the valley floor at about 4,300 feet, the roads are the roads all year.
The details
Getting there
US-89 enters the city from Ogden on the Harrisville Road diagonal, crosses the numbered grid at an angle, and turns north as Highway 89 toward Pleasant View. Seven of the fifteen Harrisville Road centerline segments carry a different city on each side, so the southern reach of the road is itself partly a boundary. Both the state highway reach and a shorter city owned reach share the name.
Before you go
- Check the side of the street before assuming a Harrisville Road or Washington Boulevard address is in Harrisville. Both roads act as the city line along part of their length.
- The route numbers in general circulation for this city are wrong. Washington Boulevard is SR-235, Wall Avenue here is SR-204, and US-89 is Harrisville Road and Highway 89.
- There is no interchange in the city. The nearest northbound one is at 2700 North, on ground belonging to two other cities.
- The traffic counts on this page are 2017 values carried in the state layer. Take a current number from the transportation department if a decision rests on it.
The grid and the post
Ogden's street numbers, Ogden's post office, and two different postcodes across three square miles.
The state road centerline carries four fields that settle the whole address question at once, and they disagree with each other by design. On all 415 segments that touch Harrisville, the address system reads Ogden and the postal community reads Ogden, while the incorporated municipality reads Harrisville. That is the confusion in one data row: the city is Harrisville, the numbering is Ogden's and the post office is Ogden's. A Harrisville home writes Ogden on its post, stands on Ogden's street numbers, and pays into a Harrisville tax district.
The postcode is the part almost nothing carries. Harrisville is not on one postcode. Of those 415 segments, 215 carry 84404 and 200 carry 84414, the code shared with North Ogden, and the split runs broadly south to north across the city. That is why the state board of education prints 84414 for Orion Jr High at 370 West 2000 North and for Majestic School at 425 West 2550 North, both inside this city, and 84404 for Greenwood Charter School at 840 North Highway 89, also inside it. A postcode settles nothing about jurisdiction here, and neither does a mailing address.
What that means for a reader with a listing in front of them is simple and worth repeating. An Ogden mailing address on either postcode may be an Ogden address, a Harrisville address, a North Ogden address or a Pleasant View address. The only things that settle it are the parcel record and the city itself. On the grid, Harrisville runs roughly between 700 North and 2550 North, and between Washington Boulevard on the east and about 1050 West on the west, which is derived here from the street names the centerline attributes to this city rather than published as a boundary by anybody.
An address on Washington Boulevard is as likely to be in Ogden as in Harrisville, and the postcode will not tell you which. Eleven of the Washington Boulevard centerline segments touching this city read Harrisville on one side and Ogden on the other, and Harrisville Road does the same on nearly half its segments. Both of the postcodes in use here are shared with neighbouring cities, and every address in Harrisville carries an Ogden postal community regardless. So a listing, a business card or a delivery address showing Ogden on 84404 or 84414 has told you nothing about which city government the property is in, which police department answers, or which city collects its share of the tax. The county assessor's parcel record carries the city on every parcel and settles it in one look. Checked 21 August 2026.
The commercial spine
One very large building on the diagonal, and a bigger cluster by area that nobody writes about.
The single landmark in Harrisville is a shop, and it is a shop that puts this city's name on its own record rather than Ogden's. Walmart's own store page gives store 2921 at 534 North Harrisville Road, Harrisville, UT 84404, on 801-737-0092. The county roll corroborates it at parcel level: 20.48 acres, a 202,499 square foot building put up in 2000, classed commercial, on a plat the county calls Harrisville Retail Sub, with the city field reading Harrisville. That is the largest building in the city by a wide margin, and the plat name is the county's own evidence that the retail ground was laid out as one project rather than accumulating over time.
What almost nobody notices is that the retail corridor is not the biggest commercial thing in this city by area. On the county roll, the largest commercial land holding inside the limits is 53.37 acres at 1556 North 750 West, well away from both Washington Boulevard and Harrisville Road, carrying a 55,203 square foot building of 2005 among several others. There are two distinct commercial clusters here, not one: the Harrisville Retail plat on the diagonal and on 325 East, and a larger lot group on the 750 West corridor. Any description of this city that treats the boulevard as the whole commercial story is missing the bigger half by acreage. What occupies the 750 West ground was not established at any public body in this research.
The employment number behind all of it is 1,961 average jobs for data year 2023, from the state labour department's annual table for Weber County. Set that against 6,913 residents and the shape is plain: this city holds well under a third as many jobs as people, which makes it a place people leave in the morning rather than arrive at. The same table breaks its jobs down by sector for Roy, Riverdale, Pleasant View and Farr West and prints nothing at all for Harrisville, which under the department's own suppression rule is what happens when the sector cells would identify individual firms in a small city. So no dominant industry is inferred here from that blank, and none is printed.
No public body reached in this research names a single Harrisville employer. The state labour department, Weber County economic development and the city itself were all checked on 21 August 2026 and none of them does. The one that can be named honestly is the one that names itself, which is why the store record is the only business on this page.

Transit, the freeway and the base
Transit here is one route and a question mark. The transit authority's own schedules index lists route 612, Washington Blvd, among its Weber County services, with headings toward South Ogden and toward North Ogden, so the route runs this corridor. What the authority does not do is name Harrisville as a service community on that route page, and no stop was confirmed inside the city limits on 21 August 2026. Given that the boulevard is the city line for most of its length here, a stop on the east kerb would be in Ogden. Anybody who needs a stop inside Harrisville should settle it at the transit authority rather than assume one.
There is no commuter rail station, no light rail and no bus rapid transit in Harrisville, and Weber County has exactly two rail stations, neither of them here. This site's practical city guide gives an address for the nearer one that does not match the transit authority's own, and the authority's is the one to follow. No drive time to it is published by anybody and none is printed here.
The air base south of the county is a Davis County subject and this page treats it as one: it is reached down the freeway corridor from here and the guide to it carries the gates, the roads and the flying. Nothing about it belongs on a Harrisville page beyond that sentence.
Living with it
A US highway through the middle, a state highway along the edge, and no way to check either from a listing.
The roads are the part of a Harrisville address that repeat every day, and the useful homework on them is cheap. Drive the diagonal at half past seven on a weekday and again on a Saturday afternoon, because Harrisville Road is a United States highway carrying about 14,000 vehicles a day past a supermarket, and the difference between a house two streets off it and a house on it is not something a listing photograph shows. Then drive the boulevard, which carried between 26,000 and 32,000 a day at the last count in the state layer, and work out where the address actually sits relative to it.
What the corridor gives back is the thing people mean when they call this a convenient address. Everyday shopping is inside the city rather than a drive into another one. Two state highways cross the middle of a three square mile city, so nothing here is far from a main road. And the ordinary consequence of a small city on somebody else's grid is that the numbering is legible: an address given as a north number and a west number can be placed on a map without local knowledge, which is more than can be said for a lot of Utah towns.
What it costs is a car per driver and a set of questions nobody can answer from a screen. There is one bus route, on the boundary, with no confirmed stop inside the city. There is no station and no interchange. And the two roads that matter most are also, for part of their length, the city line, so the single most consequential fact about an address here, which city it is in, is one that neither the postcode nor the mailing address will tell you. The page on moving here sets out who answers the phone once you have settled it.
The busiest road in Harrisville is also its boundary, and the United States highway that made the place is the one with the city's own name on the sign.

The roads, answered.
No. Washington Boulevard through Harrisville and North Ogden is SR-235, on the transportation department's own route attribution carried in the state road centerline. US-89 comes up out of Ogden on the Harrisville Road diagonal and then turns north as Highway 89 toward Pleasant View and Brigham City, and its mileposts through this city run from about 417.0 to about 420.1. This site's own practical city guide calls Washington Boulevard US-89, and that is the correction. The Wall Avenue reach here is SR-204 rather than the SR-126 the same guide prints, because SR-126 is the Wall Avenue route further south.
Only partly, and this is the fact worth carrying to a viewing. Of the Washington Boulevard centerline segments that touch Harrisville, eleven read Harrisville on one side and Ogden on the other, one reads Ogden on both, and two read North Ogden on one side. The boulevard is the boundary between the two cities for most of the stretch a reader would call the retail corridor, so a shop or a house on the east kerb is in Ogden. Harrisville Road does the same thing further south, where seven of fifteen segments carry a different city on each kerb. Read at the state on 21 August 2026.
Because the postal community is Ogden's, and so is the street numbering. On all 415 road segments inside or touching the Harrisville city limits, the state road centerline records an address system of Ogden and a postal community of Ogden, while the incorporated municipality on the same row reads Harrisville. So a Harrisville house has Ogden street numbers and Ogden post, and a Harrisville city government, a Harrisville police department and a Harrisville tax district. It is an addressing arrangement rather than a statement about which city the property is in.
There are two. Of the 415 road segments touching the city, 215 carry 84404 and 200 carry 84414, which is the code shared with North Ogden, and the split runs broadly south to north. That is why the Utah State Board of Education prints 84414 for Orion Jr High at 370 West 2000 North and Majestic School at 425 West 2550 North, both inside Harrisville, and 84404 for Greenwood Charter School at 840 North Highway 89, also inside it. Neither postcode is exclusive to this city, so a postcode settles nothing about which city an address is in.
No. The city's western edge stops well short of Interstate 15 and no interchange is inside the city limits. The interchange a Harrisville driver would use heading north is at 2700 North, which sits on Farr West and Pleasant View ground rather than in this city, so this page does not claim it. No verified drive time from Harrisville to the freeway, to a rail station, to downtown Ogden or to an airport was obtained from any public body in this research, and none is printed. Every such figure in circulation, including the ones on this site's own practical city guide, is an estimate from a map.
One route runs the corridor and no stop inside the city was confirmed. The transit authority's own schedules index lists route 612, Washington Blvd, among its Weber County routes, with direction headings toward South Ogden and toward North Ogden, so the service runs this way. The authority does not name Harrisville as a service community on that route page, and given that the boulevard is the city line for most of its length here, a stop on the east kerb would be in Ogden. There is no commuter rail station, no light rail and no bus rapid transit in the city.
On the 2017 counts carried in the state road centerline, SR-235 on Washington Boulevard ran between 26,000 and 32,000 vehicles a day at a posted 50, US-89 on the Harrisville Road diagonal ran 14,000 at a posted 50, and the Highway 89 reach north of the diagonal ran 15,000 at a posted 55. The busiest road in the city is therefore the one that is also its border. Those values carry a 2017 year stamp in the layer itself and the transportation department publishes newer counts, so take a current figure from the agency if a decision rests on it.
1,961 average jobs for data year 2023, on the Utah Department of Workforce Services annual labour market table for Weber County. Against 6,913 residents, that is well under a third as many jobs as people, so this is a city people leave in the morning. The same table prints a sector breakdown for Roy, Riverdale, Pleasant View and Farr West and prints nothing for Harrisville, which under the department's own rule is what happens when sector cells would identify individual firms in a small city. No dominant industry is inferred here from that blank.
No public body names one. The state labour department, Weber County economic development and the city itself were all checked on 21 August 2026 and none of them publishes an employer name for this city. The one business that can be named honestly is the one that names itself: Walmart's own store record gives store 2921 at 534 North Harrisville Road, Harrisville, and the county roll shows a 20.48 acre parcel there with a 202,499 square foot building of 2000 on a plat called Harrisville Retail Sub. The largest commercial land holding in the city by area is elsewhere, 53.37 acres at 1556 North 750 West, and what occupies it was not established.
A highway through the middle and a boundary down the busiest road in town.
The roads decide more about a Harrisville address than anything else on this companion, and two of the questions they raise cannot be answered from a listing at all. Which city the property is actually in, because the postcode and the mailing address both say Ogden and both are shared with neighbouring cities. And how the specific address sits relative to a United States highway carrying about 14,000 vehicles a day through the middle of a three square mile city. Both are settled the same way: the county's parcel record for the exact address, then a drive at the hour that matters. Tell me which streets are in play and I will introduce you to a Weber and Morgan partner agent who can pull the parcel before you drive out, and stay on the file for the financing side.
