About the Community:

Connell is a rural Eastern Washington community with a long railroad and agricultural history. Its parks and bike path offer opportunities for recreation close to home, and the North Franklin School District serves the community with local school campuses. The smaller setting can appeal to someone seeking a close connection between work and community life.

The Tri-Cities lies to the south for additional shopping, dining and regional air service. Riverfront recreation along the Columbia River and the Sacagawea Heritage Trail adds options for cycling, walking and time outdoors, creating a balance between a quieter home base and access to broader regional amenities.
