Washington County, Pennsylvania.

The Cornerstone of Southwestern Pennsylvania

Washington County stretches across southwestern Pennsylvania's rolling hills, where Interstate 70 and Interstate 79 intersect to create a strategic crossroads just 30 miles south of Pittsburgh. Here, 210,000 residents and over 5,400 businesses thrive in a region that seamlessly blends its coal mining and agricultural heritage with cutting-edge energy production and advanced manufacturing - where century-old Main Streets neighbor state-of-the-art industrial parks.

A Legacy of American Industry

Washington, our historic county seat, embodies Pennsylvania's transformation story. Once the heart of the Whiskey Rebellion and later a coal and steel powerhouse, today's Washington pulses with new energy from the Marcellus Shale boom, advanced manufacturing facilities, and a thriving healthcare sector. The city's 2,100 businesses range from family-owned shops that have served generations to sophisticated energy companies pioneering tomorrow's technologies.

Beyond Washington, the Route 19 corridor through Peters Township and Canonsburg offers upscale shopping and dining, while the Mon Valley communities preserve their industrial heritage while attracting new investment. Travel into the countryside and you'll find working farms, historic covered bridges, and small-town businesses that anchor communities like they have for over two centuries.
