Grant County is in east central Washington along the Columbia River. Major cities here are Ephrata, the county seat, Moses Lake, its largest city, and Electric City, Quincy, Mattawa, and Warden. The county population is about 89,000 people. It is situated between the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and Yakima to the west and Spokane to the east. Bordering the county to the north are the Colville and Spokane Reservations.
Grant County has many large natural and recreation areas, including the Potholes Reservoir, made up of a reservoir of the same name as well as Moses and Banks Lakes, and several lakeside state parks. The county’s first settlers intended to raise livestock here and it has remained largely agricultural ever since. Thanks to the Grand Coulee Dam, one of the area’s best known features, farms and land here can use irrigation and hydroelectric power harnessed from the Columbia River.
