Goldendale

About the City Goldendale sits on a fertile plateau north of the Columbia River between the windswept Columbia Hills and the pine-covered Simcoe Mountains of South-central Washington. Goldendale is the county seat of Klickitat County. The sprawling 1,200 square miles of the county contains a variety of scenery. It ranges from pine forests in the west and north to spectacular lava flows along the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge at the south.

Fertile farmland lies in the central section and to the east, arid, desert-like land that has its own beauty that seems to many first-time visitors harsh, but is captivating in its own uncompromising way.

Goldendale is an extremely attractive location to conduct business offering low utility and land prices, a skilled labor force, and excellent transportation options. Currently, a diversified local economy provides several means of livelihood for the residents of Goldendale. Along with the fields of education, local and county social service and government agencies, and public service entities, logging, farming, and aluminum smeltering provide stable employment and a comfortable standard of living.
