Moses Lake

Moses Lake is a regional center in Grant County, Washington, situated near the lake that shares its name. The area combines land and water surfaces that give the town its particular geographic setting.

Construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in 1941 and establishment of an air base in 1942 turned farmland into a developed town. These two projects brought people, infrastructure and growth to the region.

The town takes its name from Chief Moses of the Sinkiuse people who lived in this area generations ago. This connection to the past remains part of how residents understand where they live.

The lake shoreline offers access to activities like boating and fishing during warmer months. Most facilities are easy to reach and work well for visitors interested in water recreation.

The county international airport serves as a testing ground for new commercial aircraft and aviation technology. Visitors sometimes spot prototypes and experimental planes on the runway or in hangars.
