Columbia Basin Project irrigation transformed a little town in the panhandle of Adams County from humble beginnings as a railroad pit stop to an agricultural powerhouse that continues to grow. Othello’s population has climbed at each U.S. Census count since 1940. When the Columbia Basin Project brought new jobs to the region in the 1950s, the population shot up fivefold – from 526 to 2,669. And it’s still growing: The 2021 American Community Survey estimates its current population of 8,739 is up 16.1% from 2010.
