Located inside Walla Walla County, Touchet Washington is located approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Walla Walla.

History: Prior to removal to reservations, there was a village of Walla Walla people located near the present townsite. This site was called Tuushi, meaning “baking salmon on sticks over coals”, a name based on a coyote myth. Bands of Palouse, Yakamas, Umatilla, Walla Walla and Wanapum, that used this area were collectively called Nez Perce by Lewis and Clark when they passed through the Walla Walla Valley on their return journey in 1806.

Settlers from the east came to the valley in the early 1850s, but shortly left due to conflicts with the Native people. Homesteaders returned to the valley in 1859.

The Walla Walla & Columbia River Railroad from Wallula to Walla Walla was not completed until 1875, but by March 1874, 16 miles of track were completed up to Touchet. By the end of that year Touchet farmers shipped 4,000 tons of wheat and received 1,100 tons of merchandise. Touchet has never been officially incorporated.
