The Frontier-Paterson Border Crossing connects the town of Northport, Washington with Rossland, British Columbia on the Canada–US border. It can be reached by Washington State Route 25 on the American side and British Columbia Highway 22 on the Canadian side. Although Canada has had a customs office at or near the border since 1900, the US did not. Until the mid-1960s, travelers entering from Canada at both this crossing and at the Boundary-Waneta border crossing were directed to proceed to the Customs office in Northport, Washington, several miles away. The US built a border station at Frontier in 1965, and replaced it with a new station in 2011. Canada continues to operate out of its 1950s-era border station. This crossing is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
