Adams County, Administrative division in Washington, United States.
Adams County extends across the eastern Washington landscape, encompassing agricultural lands and small communities between the Columbia Basin and Snake River regions.
The Washington State Legislature established Adams County in 1883, naming it after the second president of the United States, John Adams.
Local residents maintain strong ties to farming traditions, with wheat production and agriculture forming the foundation of community activities throughout the seasons.
