Othello, WA

Othello sits along Interstate 90 in Washington's Columbia Basin, about 180 miles east of Seattle. The city serves as a crossroads where I-90 meets State Route 26, connecting travelers to the Tri-Cities and eastern Washington's agricultural heartland. Most visitors pass through on I-90 or take SR-26 south toward the Columbia River. The town hosts the annual Sandhill Crane Festival each March when thousands of migrating cranes stop in the surrounding wetlands.
