Washington County is the anchor of Tennessee's Tri-Cities region (Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol) in the northeast corner of the state. Home to Johnson City and Tennessee's oldest town, Jonesborough, the county blends Appalachian heritage with a modern healthcare and education economy led by East Tennessee State University and Ballad Health.
The county's economy is diversified across healthcare, higher education, manufacturing, and a growing craft beverage and outdoor recreation scene. Johnson City's downtown has been revitalized into a vibrant business district, and the surrounding region offers a lower cost of living that attracts entrepreneurs and remote workers from larger markets.
Whether your business is headquartered in Jonesborough or operating out of a smaller community, we serve the entire county with the same level of service.
