     The delightful small town of College Place (approximately 9000 people) is located on the Walla Walla River near the Oregon border. Though folks with lengthy commutes elsewhere will be jealous, College Place is within 5 minutes of downtown Walla Walla, the country seat and its thriving community of about 30,000 people. No commuting problems here! I (Pat) should know as I live in College Place and work in Walla Walla. There's some new commercial development as well as residential homes in process. Slow and steady is GOOD!

     Primarily residential, College Place is home to Walla Walla University and is in an area known for its award-winning wineries. There's lots of outdoor recreation in our Blue Mountains and with the Columbia and Snake Rivers close by!
