Washoe City

Washoe City sits beside Washoe Lake in western Nevada, where the broad Washoe Valley runs between the Sierra Nevada and the Virginia Range. This small unincorporated community occupies a high-desert corridor between Reno and Carson City, with open sagebrush country and wetlands around the lake. In the 1860s, it developed as a supply and transport point for the Comstock mining boom and briefly served as Washoe County's seat before county government moved to Reno. Washoe Lake State Park provides public access to the shore, drawing walkers, birdwatchers and water-sport users when conditions allow.
