Primary State Highway 6 (Washington)
Primary State Highway 6 (PSH 6) was a Washington state highway in the older primary and secondary system that existed from 1937 until 1964 in Spokane and Pend Oreille counties. The road ran from an intersection with , (US 2, formerly and ) and in Spokane north to (BC 6) at the Canadian border near Metaline Falls, passing its branch route and two secondary routes.
PSH 6 was originally named State Road 23 in 1915 and ran from Spokane to Newport until it was extended to the Canadian border in 1921. State Road 23 was renumbered to State Road 6 and later co-signed with US 195 from Spokane to Newport in 1926. In 1937, the Primary and secondary system was created, renumbering State Road 6 to PSH 6 and creating two branch routes and two secondary routes, (SSH 6A) and . US 195 was later replaced with US 2 when it was expanded west in 1946 and later was decommissioned in 1964, when a new system, the sign routes (later state routes) were introduced. PSH 6 was divided into US 2 from Spokane to Newport and (SR 31) from Newport to Canada as part of the new system.
==Route description==
Primary State Highway 6 (PSH 6) began at a 3-way junction with , co-signed with (US 2) and , formerly with and , north of Downtown Spokane. From the junction, the highway became co-signed with US 2 (formerly US 195 and ) and traveled northeast to intersect what was US 2 prior to 1955 in Mead. The roadway then turned north, paralleling railroad tracks that belonged to the Great Northern Railway (now owned by BNSF Railway), which it would parallel to Newport. At Colbert, an overpass over the road served another Great Northern Railway line where the current BNSF Railway left PSH 6; from Colbert, the roadway passed Chattaroy and Milan before it left Spokane County to enter Pend Oreille County.〔〔
Once in Pend Oreille County, the highway curved northeast past (SSH 6B) and Diamond Lake, which also has a community named after the lake, into Newport. In Newport, the road turned north and intersected its branch route, which connected east to Idaho and US 2 left to become co-signed with the branch. After US 2 left, PSH 6 once again turned northwest along the Pend Oreille River and a former route of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (now the Pend Oreille Valley Railroad) to Usk,〔 where SSH 6B was intersected again. From Usk, the roadway continued north past Cusick, Locke, Jared and Ruby to Tiger, where branched off the highway and traveled west to Colville. The road traveled through Ione and Metaline to Metaline Falls, the terminus of the railroad and the last major community on the roadway until the Canadian border.〔 PSH 6 bridged the Pend Oreille River at Metaline Falls and traveled north to the Canadian border, where it became (BC 6). The southern terminus in Spokane was the busiest section of the highway in 1960, with a daily average of 4,850 motorists; the busiest section in Pend Oreile County was at Newport city limits with a daily average of 2,150 motorists in 1960.〔
