Can I get some basic info on Osoyoos please.

Is it a small town? Population?

Are there jobs for my son (almost 17)?

Nearest larger city?

Weather?

Pollution/water quality?

Are there farms nearby that sell produce?

A Blockbuster?

High School?

Transit System?

I may have a house for rent there, but I'm concerned it's a scam.

Thanks


Michelle

It's small; about 5000 permanents. Summer population explodes. Extremely hot in summer and the area is semi-arid. Service industries like hotel, restaurant, gas bar, etc. type work in the season. Some orchard work in season. Pretty dead otherwise. Water/air quality is decent. Not sure about a Blockbuster. Schools, yup. College, doubtful. Nearest town is Oroville, Wa. Nearest cities are Penticton, Kelowna, or Spokane. Transit system? hehehe One can walk from one end of town to the other in 15 minutes casually.

Osoyoos is at the US/Canada border and the Canadian Okanagan goes all the way up to Kamloops. Basically if you find a map with Highway 97 on it, wherever Hway 97 goes is the Okanagan. The American Okanogan (they spell it differently for some reason), goes from the border near Oroville, Wa south to Bridgeport I think.
