Washington, Missouri
Population: 13,243
Located in Franklin County
Wahington, Missouri One hundred years ago, Washington was a distinctly German town, not only in the well-kept, substantial appearance of its sturdy brick and stone buildings, but also in language, culture and the nature of its commerce and industries.
Today, Washington is an award-winning Mainstreet Community whose German heritage is still evident in the Old World charm of its downtown area. Its location in the heart of Eastern Missouri's wine country, its elaborate park system and river access make it a popular destination for American and international tourists.
The city boasts several industrial parks and many new companies are attracted to the area by the reliability and sturdy character of the available work force. The diversity of Washington-made products includes advertising specialties, abrasive blast cleaning equipment, binders and other vinyl products, transformers, long-span steel joists, office furniture and fixtures, truck bodies, metal fabrication, automatic welding machines, restaurant and health care equipment, refrigeration valves and cores and - - still today - - corn cob pipes.
Washington weather is great for gardeners, golfers and anyone else who loves long summers with favorable humidity, short winters and spectacular, eye-catching seasonal changes. Washington temperatures range from an average monthly low of 20 degrees (January) to 89 degrees (July). Average monthly rainfall: 3.3 inches; average annual snowfall is 18.5 inches.
