| Profile: Washington County's unique topography, as formed by ancient glacial activity, creates a natural environment for Wisconsinites of all ages drawn to the great outdoors. Homeowners here are surrounded by rolling beautiful countryside. Woods and fields, including many natural prairies abound, while miles of streams or creeks feed the many clear lakes. Washington County forms the gateway to the northern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. It is bordered on the east by Washington County, and on the south by Waukesha and Milwaukee counties. Commuters particularly enjoy the ease of a congestion-free highway ride (only 20 to 40 minutes) linking Washington County to Metro-Milwaukee. All administrative and most commercial and industrial activities in Washington County radiate from the City of West Bend, which is the County Seat. West Bend is positioned in the approximate center of the county, equal distance between the cities of Milwaukee and Fond du Lac, and approximately 13 miles from Lake Michigan. |
