COMMENTS
The
City of Waitsburg is a peaceful, manicured town. It doesn't offer much
for the tourist in the way of tours, night
clubs or theme parks, but it does
offer a sense of home.
We took a few extra moments in our busy schedule to drive up and down some of
the streets of Waitsburg, giving
ourselves a definite treat. We gazed
upon several
old-style homes with beautifully maintained yards. Lilac and
Rhododendron bushes lined many streets, which were all in bloom.
Downtown Waitsburg is only a few blocks long, but with some very impressive
all brick buildings. Even though we
passed through Waitsburg early in the
morning and the town wasn't "awake" yet, I still got an overwhelming sense
of community pride. Everything seemed so clean and well
preserved.
If you take a trip to Walla Walla, take a few extra hours to check out
Waitsburg. You will be pleasantly surprised. |

Walla
Walla County is located on the Columbia Plateau and in the Blue Mountain
region of southeastern Washington. Its unusual name comes from the Sahaptin
Indian language and means "a place of many waters." The original
boundaries of Walla Walla County, as created in 1854, included all the
present counties of Washington east of the Cascades. The present
boundaries were created in 1875.
