Newport sits in Washington's northeast corner, three miles from Idaho on Highway 2. This border town of 2,181 makes a convenient stop between Spokane (60 miles southwest) and Sandpoint, Idaho. The drive from Spokane takes two hours through Colville National Forest on Highway 2, while State Route 20 connects from the south. The 1906 BNSF Railway bridge still carries freight trains across the Pend Oreille River daily.
