Franklin County blends big-sky scenery with everyday convenience, anchored by Pasco on the Columbia River. Miles of riverfront paths, boating, and fishing set the tone for weekends, while the farm economy fills local markets with peaches, asparagus, and wine grapes. With Kennewick and Richland just across the bridges, residents tap into the Tri-Cities’ restaurants, festivals, and major employers, yet come home to quieter neighborhoods and room to grow. Small communities like Connell add a close-knit feel, and proximity to Benton County broadens options for work, healthcare, and entertainment.
Families appreciate strong education anchors. Pasco School District offers dual-language programs, robust career and technical education, and modern schools serving fast-growing neighborhoods. Higher ed is close to home at Columbia Basin College, a regional hub for nursing, trades, and transfer degrees that partners with local industry for internships and career pathways.
Outdoor time is easy to love, from sun-soaked days at Sacajawea State Park to summer baseball at Gesa Stadium and autumn birding along the Snake. Travel is simple via Tri-Cities Airport, and a steady calendar of fairs, food-truck nights, and farmers markets keeps the community connected. Whether you’re eyeing a starter home in Pasco or acreage near Connell, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local agent to navigate the market—buying or selling.
