About Washington County

We are very proud of where we live and work. Washington County is known for warm winter weather, snowbirds, and beautiful red rock scenery. It has been known as Utah's Dixie since pioneers settled here in the 1850's. Championship golf, tennis, walking paths, biking trails, hiking, warm, snow-free winters and year long low humidity all make life attractive here. In the mid

1960's the county's population was about 10,000; today, it is well over 140,000. In fact, our population has nearly doubled each of the last three decades! We are home to the world-renowned Snow Canyon State Park and the Tuacahn Center with its 1,200 seat outdoor amphitheater and the magnificent Zion National Park. The county has the benefit of a large, ultra-modern convention center, the Rosenbruch World Wildlife Museum, and the 1200 seat Cox Performing Arts Theatre that is on the Dixie State College campus. We want to invite you to come and enjoy our breathtaking scenery and hospitality!

During the sentencing hearing held last week, Prosecutor Steven Scott argued for prison, citing what he described as Serassio’s “escalating criminal history” and the impact on "victims."

“Each successive involvement with the criminal justice system has produced more serious charges, more victims and more brazen conduct,” Scott said in court.

A St. George woman was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty in three separate cases involving drug distribution, witness tampering and bribery, including allegations she recruited juveniles to help sell

Dr. Smock is pictured here with the cases’ prosecution team: County Attorney Jerry Jaeger, Prosecutor Grace Deist, and lead-Detective Chris Lemmon.
