Othello

Othello occupies an irrigated stretch of the Columbia Basin in Adams County, eastern Washington. Agriculture gives the town its working identity: the Columbia Basin Project brought Columbia River water to land that had long been dry, supporting fields of potatoes, onions and other crops around the community. Nearby, the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge follows Crab Creek through wetlands, lakes and shrub-steppe, providing habitat for migratory birds. Othello’s annual Sandhill Crane Festival in February focuses on the cranes that gather in this part of the basin.
