Grant County
 |
The Washington State Legislature created Grant County on February 24, 1909, from the southern half of Douglas County. Named after President Ulysses S. Grant, Grant County is located near the center of Washington in the Columbia Basin, and is noted for both its hydroelectric dams and federal irrigation projects. The county's economy is based on the growing and processing of a large variety of irrigated crops. Moses Lake is the largest city in the county with Interstate 90 between Spokane and Seattle running through the city. The Priest Rapids Dam and Wanapum Dam are located along the southwestern edge of the county. The scenic Grand Coulee can be travelled along State Route 155 at the northern tip of Grant County.
