- Douglas County is a predominantly rural county located in north central Washington. Waterville is the county seat. The county’s proximity to Grand Coulee Dam just over the county line (spanning the Columbia River between Okanogan and Grant counties), as well as the four Columbia River dams within the county have over time provided work for thousands of Douglas County residents.
