About the Community Mattawa and neighboring Desert Aire enjoy a rural setting in the geographic center of Yakima, Tri-Cities, Ellensburg, Moses Lake and Wenatchee. The rural setting offers a quality of life that is hard to find elsewhere. We are about a half-hour from the “Gorge at George” which has gained national acclaim as an outdoor amphitheater.
