Newport is a city in and the county seat of Pend Oreille County, Washington, United States. The population was 2,114 at the 2020 census. == History == Newport was given its name in 1890 due to its selection as a landing site for the first steamboat on the Pend Oreille River. Newport was officially incorporated on April 13, 1903. The first river bridge was built in 1906, and was replaced in 1926, and again in 1988. In 1935, Newport City Marshall George Conniff was killed during a robbery at the Newport Creamery by multiple Spokane police officers. The case went stagnant for decades until Pend Oreille County Sheriff, Tony Bamonte took interest in the 1980s.The weapon believed to have killed Conniff was found in the Spokane River underneath the Post Street Bridge in 1989. A book was published about it in 1992 by Timothy Egan. Newport began a tourism campaign in 1987 that involved planting hundreds of national, state, and city flags to transform itself into the "City of Flags". The scheme was abandoned a decade later after issues with theft and maintenance.
