Wasco Is For The Working Person 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Living in Wasco is fairly quiet and there’s not a ton to do. What we beat other cities at, I would say, is our available options for food and restaurants. Not only do we have popular chain restaurants in our city, we are also fortunate enough to have unique local diners and res ...Read More taurants in our area. There’s around 25,000 people so there’s someone new to meet everyday. Realistically, this town is for the working person. I don’t do much other than work and enjoy my time in my apartment. If a faster pace lifestyle is what you seek I recommend looking elsewhere. However, we are close to a lot of other cities and attractions that aren’t a terribly far drive from where we are. We don’t have attractions either. Just a couple of parks and the high school. It is a great place for young teenagers as they’ll stay out of trouble and have the opportunity to go to a really good high school. Read Less
