Omak – Elevation 837 feet above sea level and has a population of over 1,600.

Omak and Okanogan are only 5 mi. apart so it is difficult to tell where one city ends and the other begins. You will find the primary business in this area is apple orchards but “Baby’s Breath” farming is also a growing part of the economy. For those of you who aren’t florists, “Baby’s Breath” is used a lot in bouquets.
