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.
