About this city
Also known as: A Town So Nice They Named It Twice
Walla Walla is a historic agricultural and winemaking city situated in the fertile rolling valleys of southeastern Washington within Walla Walla County. Arising from a 19th-century fur-trading outpost and pioneer mission, it became Washington's largest city during the gold rush era before settling into a prosperous farming hub for sweet onions and wheat. Over the past few decades, its unique climate has transformed it into a world-class wine destination, with over a hundred elite boutique wineries carpeting the valley foothills.
