Washington State Route 125
State Route 125 (SR 125) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Washington. It extends 23.65 miles (38.06 km) from OR 11 south of Walla Walla, north to State Route 124 west of Prescott. SR 125 passes U.S. Route 12 and Walla Walla. The route serves as a connector from US 12 to SR 124, Prescott, and Pendleton, Oregon (via OR 11).
SR 125 was established in 1964 after the 1964 highway renumbering, along its current route. Before SR 125 was established, the route from Oregon to Walla Walla was the Walla Walla branch of Primary State Highway 3 and the route from Walla Walla to Prescott was Secondary State Highway 3E. Even though SR 125 was established in 1964, no signs went up until the law that made SR 125 was approved by the Washington State Legislature in 1970. SR 125 also has a spur route that connects the highway with U.S. Route 12 eastbound towards Clarkston. The spur route is located entirely in Walla Walla.

Famous quotes containing the words washington, state and/or route:
“The government is huge, stupid, greedy and makes nosy, officious and dangerous intrusions into the smallest corners of life—this much we can stand. But the real problem is that government is boring. We could cure or mitigate the other ills Washington visits on us if we could only bring ourselves to pay attention to Washington itself. But we cannot.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“The society would permit no books of fiction in its collection because the town fathers believed that fiction ‘worketh abomination and maketh a lie.’”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
