George is a city in Grant County, Washington, United States. The population was 809 at the 2020 census.[2] The "humorous homage" to President George Washington has landed George, Washington on lists of unusual place names.[4]
The city is known for being near The Gorge Amphitheatre, sometimes called "The Gorge at George". The Gorge Amphitheatre was the location of the annual Sasquatch! Music Festival.
The city also celebrates national holidays such as the Fourth of July, and Washington's Birthday, with cherry pies. The world's largest cherry pie is also baked every year on July 4, and served to a crowd.[5]
