Best Dressed Fall Fashions

Walla Walla Clothing Co. owner Teresa Ellison shares what to wear this season.

Walla Walla Clothing Co. began over 25 years ago when owner and buyer Teresa Ellison was an accountant who took a weekend shift at a Walla Walla men's clothing store to meet people in the community. She ended up purchasing the men's store, moved it to a bigger location in Downtown Walla Walla, transitioned to women's clothing, shoes, and accessories, and the rest is history!

Teresa moved to Kirkland in 2019, opening the Kirkland Urban store in April 2022 with the goal of providing the Eastside with exceptional customer service, a carefully curated selection of designer brands, and unique options for a wide range of ages and personal styles. Walla Walla Clothing Co. showcases brands that use high-quality materials and creates flattering designs with staying power and a touch of trend. Their experienced Kirkland team includes passionate stylists who create long-term relationships with clients and help women look and feel their best. The pictured fashions are available at Walla Walla Clothing Co. at Kirkland Urban.
