Then it was selected by Sunset Magazine as its “Best Main Street in the West.” It’s no surprise that the lucky people who live in Walla Walla...and the many visitors who come here...find themselves making the most of this historically significant and highly restored neighborhood. Thanks to the commitment of members of the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation, Walla Walla’s main street is an example of the good things that happen when a community decides to preserve the best of itself.

Visiting Walla Walla you’ll find an exciting downtown with a variety of shopping options, including a major department store and dozens of speciality outlets, plus outdoor cafes, public art, wine tasting rooms, art galleries, and coffee shops set against a backdrop of some of Washington State’s oldest buildings.
