Stevens County

 

 

Colville, the seat of Stevens County, is the largest city between Spokane and Canada. The region's cultural and economic engine is thriving community that offers art galleries, live music in the park, several music festivals and the last drive-in movie theater in Eastern Washington. Home of the Northeast Washington Fair and numerous celebrations throughout the year, this regional hub is surrounded by national forest and sparkling lakes, providing hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.

 

Before the Grand Coulee Dam Formed Lake Roosevelt, historic  Ketle Falls served as one of the largest Native American fishing grounds in the Northwest. Today the town sports a full-service marina, a downtown revitalization project and a child-friendly interpretive center. Just a few miles upriver, the folks of Marcus host a mid-summer Muscifest and annual October Ciderfest. Here, in the country's oldest town, a giant, hand-built press pumps out 1,000 gallons of fresh apple cider during the festival. Further upriver is Northport, a sport-fishing haven nestled in the mountains near the Canadian border.

 

Chewelah, home of a premier Chataqua arts event, has blossomed with a golf course expansion, a casino, live theater, two museums, and airport with a 3,600 foot runway and a full-service ski resort just 10 miles east. Further south, Sprindale hosts a family event every month beginning with a Pee Wee Rodeo in May, Murder & Mayhem in a Small Town in June, Frontier Days Parade & Rodeo in July and a Motorcycle Rodeo in August.
