[edit] History

Until 1987, SR 971 connected to US 97. US 97 followed the west bank of the Columbia River between Wenatchee and Stayman Flats Road (near the south end of SR 971). US 97 went inland to Lake Chelan and Chelan. State Route 151 followed the east bank of the Columbia River from Wenatchee to Chelan. In 1987, State Route 151 became US 97. US 97 became US 97 Alternate.
