Pleasant View

Washington's ghost towns are mill towns and mining camps in country so green the forest is already taking them back.

Pleasant View is an extinct town in Walla Walla County, in the U.S. state of Washington. Pleasant View was laid out in 1894.

The on-the-ground condition of Pleasant View is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Pleasant View is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Pleasant View is roughly 46.4908, -118.3394 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
