Walla Walla, WA

Ireland

Walla Walla sits in southeastern Washington's wine country, about 45 miles from the Tri-Cities via US Highway 12. The main route connects to I-82 for access to Seattle or Portland, while State Route 125 heads south toward Oregon. Most out-of-town visitors arrive via Highway 12 from Spokane (150 miles) or the Columbia River corridor. The regional airport is just 3 miles from downtown, and EV charging stations serve the growing wine tourism traffic. The 1928 Whitman Hotel's vintage neon sign still lights up the historic downtown district.
