Among the cities of southeastern Washington, Dayton stands out for its notably preserved late-19th-century commercial core. The Columbia County seat lies where Patit Creek joins the Touchet River, in agricultural country between the Palouse and the Blue Mountains. Brick storefronts, civic buildings and homes from the town’s early railroad era give its compact centre a strong sense of continuity. The 1881 Dayton Historic Depot is a lasting reminder of the rail connection that helped shape local trade and settlement.
