Harrah, WA

Harrah is a Yakima County town on the Yakama Indian Reservation, named for Julius Harrah and incorporated on January 23, 1946. The 2020 census counted 585 residents. Its civic setting is shaped by the reservation landscape and the Yakima Valley, while the town's mayor-and-council form gives it a municipal layer of its own. Harrah's small population sits inside a larger geographic network that includes nearby White Swan and the Mount Adams community.

School life connects Harrah to the Mt. Adams School District. Harrah Elementary is in town, and the district's other campuses are Mount Adams Middle School and White Swan High School; the district also posts transportation, calendars, board materials, and community information for families. Yakima County lists Harrah as a fourth-class town with a mayor/council government. The town's everyday reference points are therefore the elementary campus, the reservation road network, county government, and the school district's White Swan connection. The district's calendar and bus links make that connection visible week to week.
