We’re just 90 miles from Atlanta, 50 miles from Augusta, and 40 miles from Athens, making Washington an ideal town to start and grow a business, to raise a family, and to enjoy the finer things in life, without the hassle of urban hustle and bustle.
Our creative, vibrant downtown is a regional hub for culture, the arts, dining, and entertainment. Festivals and community events here are so much more than just a gathering of people, they are where memories are made.
We are a community with a rich history and a bright future. For example, we have the best broadband coverage in the region. Our high-tech business portfolio creates well-paying jobs in a small, caring community steeped in Southern hospitality.




The City of Washington is proud to announce that it has been awarded the 2025 GMA/GMEBS Health & Wellness Grant. This grant recognizes the City’s ongoing commitment to fostering a healthy and positive workplace culture for all employees.
