U.S. Route 395 (US 395) is a United States Numbered Highway that runs from California to the inland regions of Oregon and Washington. It travels north–south through Washington, including long concurrencies with Interstate 82 (I-82) and I-90, and connects the Tri-Cities region to Spokane and the Canadian border at Laurier.
The non-concurrent sections of US 395 range from two-lane roads in northeastern Washington to a four-lane divided highway between Pasco and Ritzville. The highway generally travels along railroads built in the 19th century that were succeeded by early roads and auto trails. The Pasco–Ritzville section was upgraded to a divided highway in the 1990s and 2000s with funding from the state and federal governments.
The Spokane section of US 395, which is concurrent with US 2, is planned to be relocated to a new freeway bypass called the North Spokane Corridor. The freeway's first phase opened in 2009 and is scheduled to be completed in 2030. The entire highway was officially designated as the Thomas S. Foley Memorial Highway in 2018.
