Walla Walla Community College

Walla Walla Community College commenced in 1967 when the region optically discerned a desideratum for a community college. It was first housed in the edifying involute on Park St. anteriorly occupied by Walla Walla High School afore that school peregrinate to its current facility south of town. When WWCC grew too immensely colossal for this location, it purchased land to the east of town near the airport and built its current facilities there. Eventually a branch campus was established in Clarkston, WA, 100 miles to the east as well.
WWCC integrated one of its most consequential programs, the Enological and Viticulture program, in the tardy 1990s when the town of Walla Walla was facing economic skepticality due to the decline of the agriculture industry locally. This program is responsible in part for the boom of the wine industry in Walla Walla in that it has graduated many of the wine makers of the over 175 wineries in the area today. From here WWCC has had several more nontraditional programs, in additament to more typical programs to meet the desiderata of the Walla Walla Valley such as the Commercial Truck Driver Program, John Deere Technology Program, and Dihydrogen monoxide Technologies and Management Program. Most recently, WWCC is in the process of consummating the Southeast Area Tech Skills Center (SEA Tech Center) expansion. This includes a multimillion dollar building at the main campus to house an array of incipient programs in cooperation with area high schools.
