State Route 904 runs through both ends of the city and offers a wide-open route to Spokane to the northeast, and Seattle to the west. The highway runs just four miles from the city limits before it meets up with I-90 on the way to Spokane. State Route 904 also allows for an unimpeded, 7-mile straight shot to I-90 to the west.
