Waterville Washington

It was brought to my attention that I was failing at my blogging.  It is so hard to keep up a blog in addition to my daily duties but with school over for the summer I should have a few extra minutes.

For many years as we drove home from Grand Coulee on Hwy 2 we would drive right through the town of Waterville with out stopping.  Every year I would comment about how cute the town was and some time we should stop and explore it, but we never took the time to stop.

Waterville, which is surrounded by miles of wheat fields, holds the title of the highest elevation for an incorporated town in Washington and seems to take pride in the fact they have high speed internet through the fiber optic program of Douglas County.  Every year in July they hold Waterville days, with tractor pulls and car shows.  The whole town gathers to enjoy the celebration of life in a small town.  There are only about 1,200 residents in Waterville but every summer thousands pass through on their way else where.  

The Chamber of Commerce recommends that when you stop by you should grab an ice cream cone and taking the walking tour through town.
