Ritzville, the seat of Adams County, lies in the heartland of eastern Washington agriculture. The prominent grain elevators link the town to the surrounding wheat fields, and indicate Ritzville remains an important milling and shipping center for dryland wheat. Indeed, the Washington Association of Wheat Growers is located here. Look for wheat rates posted on a chalkboard in the front window of the U.S. Department of Agriculture office on Main Street.
The swimming pool at the nicely maintained city park on the eastern side of town, is a welcome respite for those traveling through hot, summertime eastern Washington. |

Downtown has two blocks of
fine brick storefronts, as well as a Carnegie Library, and an art deco Ritz movie theatre. In fact the downtown district was
placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. In the
photo at left, you can see the H. E. Gritman Building, on Main Street,
with its corner tower.
