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. The Columbia River and the railroad were the only means of transporting goods to other areas but now Pasco is a transportation hub with the, newly updated, Pasco Airport. The Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers as well as the railroad  are used to move people, agricultural, dry goods, technology and products  all over the world.
