Walla Walla: Wine Country and the Oldest Prison in Washington
Walla Walla sits in the Walla Walla Valley in southeastern Washington, about 13 miles from the Oregon border. The population is approximately 32,000. The name, from the Sahaptin language, has sometimes been translated as running water. The city serves as the seat of Walla Walla County and anchors one of the most significant wine-growing regions in the Pacific Northwest.
The Walla Walla AVA has grown from a handful of wineries in the 1980s to more than 150 producers today, many of them small-scale operations. Whitman College, founded in 1859 and named for Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, missionaries killed at the nearby Whitman Mission, is a private liberal arts college with about 1,500 students.
The Washington State Penitentiary, the oldest and largest prison in the state, has operated in Walla Walla since 1887. The facility houses the state's death row and maximum-security populations, and it has been a significant employer in the area throughout its history. Fort Walla Walla Museum preserves pioneer-era buildings and the Union Pacific rail heritage of the region.
