The county seat is Okanogan, while the largest city is Omak. Its area is the largest in the state. About a fifth of the county's residents live in the Greater Omak Area.

Lake
A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, surrounded by land, and distinct from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, although, like the much larger oceans, they do form part of the Earth's water cycle. Lakes are distinct from lagoons, which are generally coastal parts of the ocean. Lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds, which also lie on land, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which usually flow in a channel on land. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams. Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing glaciation. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the courses of mature rivers, where a river channel has widened into a basin. Some parts of the world have many lakes formed by the chaotic drainage patterns left over from the la ...

Beaner
''Beaner'' is a derogatory slur originally from the United States to refer to Mexican or Mexican American descent. Usage The word was first seen in print in 1966, although the term has reportedly been in use at least since the 1940s, having evolved from previous slurs such as ''bean-eater'' (1919) and ''bean-bandit'' (1959). It is one of many national and ethnic slurs that refer to a nation's cuisine (''kraut'' for a German, ''spud-muncher'' for Irish, ''frogs'' for French, etc.). The word is considered to be one of the most offensive slurs for Mexican-Americans, although according to ''The Historical Dictionary of American Slang'', the word is only "usually considered offensive". Academics say that it is the most prominent anti-Mexican slur, having replaced '' greaser'' after the 1950s. It can resonate with the xenophobic sentiment that "you’re not American, and you never will be", and as such is sometimes directed at any Hispanic. In the 2000s comedian Carlos Mencia was ...
