Walla Walla--Do You Remember?


Most Walla Wallans growing up when I did, or I should say, almost all, remember that the High School was located before 1964, between Palouse and Park Streets just off of Birch. But do you remember???

1. Walla Walla Community College  WWCC began in the old high school buildings on Park where it would stay until it moved to the current campus on Tausick Way.
2. A firestation at the corner of Park and Alder
3.  Albertson's located on East Main, near the Whitman College campus, just before Main runs into Isaacs
4. Safeway located on Isaacs, next to the Chevron Station
5. The Public Library located on South Palouse in what would become Carnegie Center

I would like to, once again, thank Joe Drazan for the picture.  More great history at his blog on Bygone Walla Walla.  A few more lists to come before BOMV moves on.  Thank you for the great response!

    I remember this well especially the ROTC Sponsors marching corps; so much fun trying to keep your uniform from ceasing. It was a great era.

    I graduated Wa-Hi class of '64; we moved to the new campus mid-year of my senior year. Before it was WWCC, it was WW Vocational Technical school. I completed the 1-year program (office/business). I remember the fire station and library; I don't recall the Albertsons's or Safeway at those locations.

    When they tore the collage down, my friends and I cleaned and stacked the bricks. We made $7.00 for 500 bricks...until the labor department found out and then, only adults with hard hats could work on the site. Bit for 2 or 3 weeks we had some fun.
