State Route 213 (SR 213) is the shortest state highway in the U.S. state of Washington. The 0.35-mile (0.56 km) long unsigned highway serves Malott, a community in Okanogan County. Extending from U.S. Route 97 (US 97) over the Okanogan River via a bridge to First Avenue in Malott, the roadway is semi-complete, as state law designates that the road should extend to SR 20 southwest of Okanogan. First appearing in a map in 1954, SR 213 originated as a branch of Primary State Highway 16 (PSH 16) in 1959 and later SR 20 Spur in 1964. SR 20 Spur became SR 213 in 1973 because another SR 20 Spur was recently established in Anacortes.
SR 213 originates at an intersection with U.S. Route 97 (US 97) south of Malott. Traveling northwest and turning northeast, the unsigned roadway crosses the Cascade and Columbia River Railroad and the Okanogan River near the confluence of the Okanogan River and Loup Loup Creek. After crossing the Okanogan River, the highway enters Malott and terminates at First Avenue, although state law dictates that eventually the road will be extended to SR 20 southwest of Okanogan. An estimated daily average of 740 motorists utilized SR 213 in 2008.
