EPHRATA – Grant County commissioners are accepting applications from residents for appointment to a volunteer position on the tourism advisory committee representing the northern portion of the county.
The District 1 area extends from Grand Coulee down to east of Moses Lake and includes the communities and rural areas of Electric City, Hartline, Coulee City, Wilson Creek, Soap Lake, and Ephrata.
“The ideal candidate works in or has experience with the tourism industry,” commissioners said in a press statement.
