Prosser has served as the county seat of Benton County in central Washington since 1905. Set on the Yakima River, it is a compact community in the irrigated lower Yakima Valley, where orchards, vineyards and farming shape the surrounding plain. Wine is central to local identity: the Prosser area belongs to the Yakima Valley wine region, and the Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center presents the story of Washington wine. Downtown retains the civic focus of a county seat, with the Benton County Courthouse anchoring its streets. The annual Great Prosser Balloon Rally is a notable event on the local calendar.
