Waterville, Washington
The Town of Waterville, a sunny oasis in North Central Washington State, lies on US Highway 2 about half way between Everett and Spokane. The community is located in wheat country along the Ice Age Floods geological trail. Waterville maintains its historic feeling as if caught in a wrinkle in time. Many buildings in town are listed on the State and National Historic Registers of Historic Places. Waterville has always been a center for wheat commerce; farming is still a mainstay of the local economy. Descendants of pioneer families preserve the Waterville historic tradition and give the community a sense of stability.
