The Touchet River/ˈtuːʃi/ is a 65-mile (105 km)[3] tributary of the Walla Walla River in southeastern Washington in the United States. The Touchet River drains an area of about 752 square miles (1,950 km2)[3] in Columbia County and Walla Walla County.[4][5]
The upper Touchet was a traditional summer meeting place for trade and games for the Palus, Nez Perce and Walla Walla tribes. The name Touchet derives from the similarly pronounced Sahaptin term for the river, Tu-se meaning roasting. Nez Perce legend tells that coyote roasted salmon at this river after breaking a fish dam guarded by the seven swallow sisters at Celilo.
The USGS cited two variant names, Pouchet River and Toosha River.[1]
