Ritzville

The landscape around Ritzville is a dry, rolling expanse of the Columbia Plateau, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and its wheat-farming economy. The seat of Adams County stands in eastern Washington’s Big Bend country, where broad fields and open horizons define the approach from Interstate 90. Ritzville grew with the Northern Pacific Railroad, and its historic downtown still reflects the era when rail connections moved grain from this inland agricultural district to wider markets. The town is also a practical crossroads: U.S. Route 395 meets I-90 here, linking it to Spokane, the Tri-Cities and the wider plateau.
