WALLA WALLA -- Stuck away near the state's southeast corner, not on the main route to anywhere, Walla Walla is an easy place to miss, whether on purpose or by default.
Motorists from the Vancouver area going to Spokane, Pullman or Pendleton aren't likely to pass through the little town, and no classy destination resort lures visitors, either.
In short, Walla Walla probably doesn't leap to mind when families sit around the kitchen table and plan that next Northwest get-away.
It's a town of 29,000 in a county of 53,500, where agriculture, history, higher education and the state prison are more or less the dominant institutions.
