SR&nbsp;25 was originally a series of county roads built before 1912, but became part of the [[Inland Empire Highway]] in 1913 between [[Meyers Falls, Washington|Meyers Falls]], now known as Kettle Falls, and [[Northport, Washington|Northport]]. In 1915, the highway was realigned west and roads from Davenport to Meyers Falls became State Road&nbsp;22 (SR&nbsp;22), which was extended north to Canada in 1931. In 1937, SR&nbsp;22 became '''Primary State Highway 22''' ('''PSH&nbsp;22''') and the [[border crossing]] was moved west of the Columbia River. PSH&nbsp;22 was decommissioned in favor of SR&nbsp;25 in a [[1964 highway renumbering (Washington)|state highway renumbering]] in 1964. SR&nbsp;25 also had an [[auxiliary route]], {{nowrap|[[Washington State Route 251|SR 251]]}}, that existed from 1964 until 1983 and ran north from Northport to the Canadian border at Boundary.⏎
