Welcome to Arden, WA. Arden is a small town just south of Colville, WA. Arden has a gas station, a restaurant, and people. The old highway went straight through Arden. The road is now called Old Arden Highway. The center of Arden is where the old highway hits Hall Rd/Arden Hill Rd. Arden boomed before Colville was established as a easy rest stop on the highway.
This part of old U.S 395 follows the route of PSH 3. This route followed Interstate 82 from Ellensburg to the Oregon State line (concurrent with U.S. Route 97 from Ellensburg to Union Gap and U.S. Route 410/12 from Union Gap to the Tri-Cities), U.S. Route 410 (now U.S. Route 12) from the Tri-Cities to Clarkston, U.S. Route 195 from Clarkston to Pullman, SR 27 from Pullman to Oakesdale, US 195 from Oakesdale to Spokane, U.S. Route 2 from Spokane to Mead and U.S. Route 395 from Mead to the U.S.-Canada border. Spurs extended along I-82/, SR 125 and SR 129 from Tri-Cities, Walla Walla and Clarkston to the Oregon State Line
This route was also known as the "Inland Empire Highway" and crossed the first, and for a time, the only highway bridge over the middle Columbia River. That bridge was located between the towns of Kennewick, WA and Pasco, WA.
