About Rock Island

Tucked along the Columbia River just a few miles south of East Wenatchee, Rock Island is a quiet, friendly community of about 1,300 residents. The town takes its name from the rocky river rapids that historically defined this stretch of water, and life here is still framed by sweeping river views and the rugged hills of central Washington. It offers a relaxed, rural setting where you can enjoy open space, sunshine, and a slower pace.
