About Mattawa
Mattawa sits in the sunny heart of central Washington's Columbia Basin, surrounded by sprawling orchards and the rolling vineyards of the Wahluke Slope. The town grew around farming in the early twentieth century, really taking off once irrigation turned the dry soil into fertile agricultural ground. Today, it retains a quiet, rural atmosphere where open skies meet green fields and the nearby waters of the Columbia River.
Day-to-day living is relaxed and centered around a close community. Families rely on schools in the Wahluke School District, spend sunny afternoons at Hund Memorial Park, and visit the Mattawa Public Library, famous for its unique straw-bale construction. It is a peaceful place for anyone seeking small-town living with plenty of sunshine and easy access to outdoor recreation.
