 If
you are looking for small town atmosphere with peace and quiet, then Entiat is
the place for you!
Nestled at the east end of the Entiat Valley, in the north
central part of Washington State, and bordering the west bank of the mighty
Columbia River, is the small community of Entiat, population 1105. From
Indian Village.....to town....to city over the past 150 years, this community
has Rocky Reach Dam, which is located approximately 10 miles south of the
current city limits. Entiat exists today, due to the heart and stamina of
its residents, past and present, some of which are the proud descendants of the
original settlers.
The Entiat community is steeped in history, beginning with Indian
Chief Silico Saska, who camped at the confluence of the Columbia and Entiat
rivers in the mid 1800s; to the now non-existent lumber mills that were Entiat
Valley's first industry; to the designation of "Numeral Mountain" as a natural
preservation site which proudly displays each year's high school graduating
class since 1923 to present day; to the designation of "Territorial City" which
acknowledges Entiat's longevity and is witnessed by the artifacts and documents
archived in the Entiat Museum; and to the designation of "Tree City USA" since
the year 2000.
