Welcome to Walla Walla, WA located in Walla Walla County - an area rich in history, resources and culture. Named for the Native American tribe that inhabited the valley, Walla Walla means ‘the place of many waters.’

Nestled at the foot of the rugged Blue Mountains in one of the nation’s most fertile valleys, Walla Walla sustains a variety of agricultural crops - most notably sweet onions. The community that once was a stopping point for the Oregon Trail enjoys the highest mean temperature of any city in the state of Washington. Approximately 30,000 residents make their homes in this diverse community. Walla Walla serves as the medical, cultural, educational, and commercial center of Southeastern Washington and Northeastern Oregon. The city is home to three colleges, three hospitals, and headquarters for the regional Army Corps of Engineers.

Education ranks high in this college community. Whitman College, Walla Walla University, and Walla Walla Community College offer diverse, reputable curriculums.

Cultural activities, including theater, museums, antique displays, lectures, and concerts equal those of communities several times its size.

The Walla Walla Valley provides year-around recreational opportunities. Boating, sailing, canoeing, skiing, hunting, snowmobiling, mountain biking and fishing are considered excellent.
