Q: What Grant County city celebrates the Fourth of July by serving locals cherry pie?
A: We cannot tell a lie -- It's George, Washington!
The city of George, Washington, has another reason to celebrate today. It's the newest member of the state Business Licensing Service (BLS).

The city was founded on July 4,1957, with a celebration featuring cherry pies. The popular pies are still shared at the city's annual Independence Day celebrations, including a record-breaking 1000-pound cherry pie served in 2012.
George is located in the middle of the state and got its name as a clever homage to the Father of Our Country. The city of 500 is connecting to nearby Quincy, Othello and other cities in the state's streamlined service for business licensing processes.
