History




Grandview, Washington - My final video for my Multimedia Content Creation Communications class at Washington State University; the topic is on my hometown of Grandview, WA.

Grandview received its name in 1906 due to its view of Mount Rainier and Mount Adams. Grandview was officially incorporated on September 21, 1909. It began simply as the halfway point on the rail line between Prosser and Sunnyside.
