Newport is a community with the unique distinction of crossing the borders of two states. “Oldtown” lies within Idaho and Newport is the county seat of Washington’s Pend Oreille County – named for the beautiful Pend Oreille River that forms the scenic backdrop to both communities. The 2000 residents of Newport enjoy easy access to Spokane via US Highway 2 (50 minutes) or Sandpoint, Idaho (40 minutes) with nearby Schweitzer Mountain and Lake Pend Oreille. The numerous lakes and backcountry that are nearby to this community simply add to the all-season recreational opportunities.<\/p>\n
