Stevens County in Northeast Washington is a land of contrasts - of rushing rivers and placid lakes; imposing mountains and low hillocks; massive boulders and sandy beaches. Defined by the majestic Columbia River which serves as the western border in its tamed and impounded Lake Roosevelt form, Stevens County is a place where man and nature co-exist in peace.
One of the country's northernmost areas, the region shares a boundary with Canada's British Columbia and is bordered to the south by the Spokane River. With a population of 40,000 spread out across an area of 2,478 square miles, this isn't a place with a lot of people. Indeed, of the county's six incorporated cities, the biggest (Colville) has an approximate population of only 5,000.
There's a lot of room in Stevens County, room to grow and flourish. Here, you can practically feel your soul stretching as wide as the skies that the Selkirk Mountains strive to touch.
An area well-known for its wealth of natural beauty, Stevens County real estate is gifted with unmatchable views of a wide variety of landscapes. If you don't mind feeling awed by your surroundings, this is the perfect place to start a family, spend your golden years or just to unwind.
Drained by the Columbia River and crisscrossed by its tributaries, Stevens County is a place where things just love to grow. Timber and agriculture are the district's primary industries, followed by mining, recreation and tourism.
With Lake Roosevelt real estate to the west, the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge and the Crystal Falls State Park to the east, and the Colville Natural Forest spreading out from the northwest to east, Stevens County is the outdoor recreation destination. Paddle, swing, hike, bike or fish - you can do all these and who knows what else in this beautiful region.
