Ephrata

The landscape around Ephrata is semi-arid shrub-steppe in Washington’s Columbia Basin, which has shaped both the town’s low-rise form and an economy long tied to irrigated farming. East of the Columbia River, the city lies amid broad basalt-country plains where dryland and irrigated fields meet. Ephrata is the county seat of Grant County, giving its compact centre a civic role beyond its population. Its location also places it within the wider Columbia Basin Project region, a federal irrigation system that transformed farming across central Washington during the 20th century.
