Attalia (/æˈtæljə/)[1] is an extinct town in Walla Walla County, Washington, United States. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[2] Attalia was located on the East shore of the Columbia River some 8 miles downriver from Burbank.
A post office called Attalia was established in 1906, and remained in operation until 1952.[3] According to tradition, the town was named after a place in Italy.[4] The townsite was submerged in Lake Wallula upon completion of McNary Dam in 1953.[5]
Attalia was a stop on both the Northern Pacific Railway and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company in 1909.[6]
