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)
“Thou knowest in the state of innocency Adam fell, and what
should poor Jack Falstaff do in the days in villainy?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
