About Riverside
Riverside is a quiet, tight-knit town of around 300 residents tucked along the Okanogan River in north-central Washington. Settled in the 1880s where Johnson Creek meets the river, it briefly served as the northernmost landing for steamboats heading up the valley. Today, the community offers a peaceful setting surrounded by open ranchland, rolling hills, and scenic mountain backdrops.
Life here centers on rural simplicity with easy access to everyday conveniences. The town sits about ten minutes north of Omak along Highway 97, giving residents a quick drive to larger grocery stores, healthcare, and schools. With the river running right past town and endless outdoor recreation nearby, Riverside is a great fit for anyone looking for quiet country living.
