Colville is
a mountain town in America's forested northwest, a town with
Victorian, as well as traditional modern homes, a clean
looking town that serves recreational, timber, and farm
interests.

1,635 feet; population 5,040
Colville
(pronounced "Call-ville") is the county seat of Stevens
County (population, est. 40,066 in 2000 census) and lies in
the Colville River Valley about one-half mile east of the
Colville River and 10 miles east of the Kettle River and
Columbia River.
Colville is
located at the junction of U.S. Highway 395 (north-south),
which runs completely from Mexico to Canada through the
center of Colville, forming the town's main street, and
State Highway 20 (east-west), which runs from the
Idaho-Washington border to the Pacific coast and
Washington's San Juan Islands.
Colville's
slogan is "City of Proud Heritage." Trade area population
is about 26,500, and extends to about a 60-mile radius.
Principal industries in Colville and nearby are timber,
agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism.
Special
features include the town's unusually wide streets,
originally designed to allow a 16-horse team of log-hauling
horses to turn a load of logs. North of town is Colville
Mountain, which displays a lighted cross for Christmas and
Easter holidays and for other special occasions. Weather in
Colville is moderate, with some precipitation occurring
nearly every month. Tornadoes are unknown but a "wind
inversion" in 1990 did slight damage to a few buildings in
town.
