MATTAWA — The city of Mattawa has budgeted to spend about $200,000 more in its current expense (general) fund in 2026 than it is projected to receive in revenue. Expenses for all departments are projected to be slightly higher than revenues, and as a result, Mattawa is projected to have slightly less money at the end of 2026 than it does at the beginning of the year.
