Tonasket is a small, friendly riverside town in north‑central Okanogan County that serves as a hub for agriculture and forestry and gives you easy access to the Okanogan River, nearby trails and the Colville National Forest — perfect for after‑shift fishing, hiking or quiet evenings between patients.
If you want more amenities within a short drive, Omak (≈24 miles) has larger grocery/restaurant options and community events, and Okanogan (≈28–29 miles) provides additional services and transit links, so you won’t feel isolated during a multi‑week assignment.
