Othello is an affordable, agriculture‑driven small city (population 8,549 at the 2020 census) that makes for a quiet, low‑cost base for multi‑week therapy assignments—easy commutes, local parks and community events mean you can settle in, save money, and recharge between shifts.
When you want more restaurants, shopping or weekend options, Moses Lake is about 26 miles away and the Tri‑Cities area (Pasco/Kennewick) is roughly 45–50 miles—both offer bigger hospitals, retail and entertainment without making Othello feel isolating.
