The Quincy Valley can be regarded as the “Western Gate to Grant County”. The community of Quincy is located near the center of Washington State just 12 miles north of I-90.

This beautiful valley is framed by ridges which were formed by the ice age floods, one of the largest floods ever known on earth. These floods left dramatic sheer cliffs, deep canyons and ancient lakes. The floods also filled the valley with deep, fertile soil enriched by volcanic deposits. Today’s farmers, working with ample sun and water, grow an amazing variety of crops including apples, peaches, cherries, sweet corn, wheat, onions, potatoes and wine grapes. Local area restaurants and wineries take advantage of this bountiful valley.

Come to the Quincy Valley. Rest in luxurious resorts or quiet hotels. Taste the bounty of the earth in quaint restaurants, fruit stands and award winning wineries. Explore the remains of the ice age floods. Hike through sagebrush steppe wildlife preserves. Take in the breathtaking view offered by the Gorge Amphitheatre, an award winning outdoor music venue. Take a step back in time with a visit to our historic Reiman-Simmons House and Pioneer Church.

Recreational opportunities abound in the Quincy Valley including hiking, biking and rock climbing. Swimming, boating and other water sports can be enjoyed with a visit to Sunland Estates or the Crescent Bar recreation area. Fishing and hunting play a major part of recreation in the valley with abundant wildlife resources. Golfers will find several courses to choose from ranging from a par-3 executive course to a full 18-hole course.

Visitors can get a firsthand look of how produce makes it from our valley to their grocery stores by attending our Farmer-Consumer Awareness Day held the 2nd Saturday in September each year. Come to the Quincy Valley, truly a land of “Opportunities Unlimited”.
