Pasco Real Estate and Community Information
Lewis and Clark camped at the junction of the Columbia and Snake Rivers in 1805. This area was called Sacajawea State Park 200 years later. The name was then changed to Pasco, not long after, and became a small agricultural city.
A thriving community of over 52,000 people, and still growing with affordable real estate price ranges, is The City of Pasco. It is the fastest growing of the cities in the Tri-City area. The mild climate and access to lots of fishing, hunting, golfing & wineries help to draw people coming into our area.
The Columbia River and the railroad were the only mean of transporting good to other areas but now Pasco is a transportation hub with the, newly updated, Pasco Air Port, the Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers as well as the railroad. All of these are used to move people, agricultural, dry goods, technology and products all over the world.
This is a community that has many areas in which to enjoy all kinds of activities including 20 soccer fields, 8 softball fields, 7 baseball parks, a mullti-purpose outdoor stadium with state-of- the-art field turf & 10 lane all-weather running track capable of hosting state-level football and track events, a 50 meter pool, a professional indoor rodeo arena & a 3.1 mile cross-country course for walkers, etc. There are also 20 public tennis courts. and 15 miles of pathways, much overlooking the Columbia River, for bikers and hikers.
There are numerous health care facilities as well as Our Lady Of Lourdes Hospital within the City of Pasco. Many resources for Senior Citizens are available throughout the Tri-City area.
The cities of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, West Richland, Benton City and Burbank all have many churches, recreational areas and health care facilities. |
