George is wonderfully well-situated in the Columbia River Basin of Eastern Washington. Found midway between the Seattle area and the Cascade mountains on the West, and Spokane on the east at exit 149 on Interstate 90, George sees a multitude of travelers every year (good thinking, Charlie). The George area offers abundant, accessible recreation: water sports, fishing, hunting, rock climbing, golf, and winter snow skiing are all close at hand. George's population swells to around 5,000 on the traditional "everything-you-could-possible-hope-for" Fourth of July celebration, which includes the world's largest cherry pie, fun activities, food, fireworks, and many other activities.
