The City of Pendleton has a beautiful asset seldom considered, but often enjoyed by the local citizens: Umatilla River. This River connects Pendleton with neighboring cities, the Tribe, and Columbia River. It has long remained a topographical feature that has affected the way Pendletonians live and develop their community. Because the PDC recognizes its impact and importance on our city, a committee was formed to write a visionary plan to capitalize on this asset.
