It is a dark blue flag with a large state map on white; on it, the county territory is filled in bright green with a white five-pointed star on it. Sprinkled across the state map, representations of local landmarks and resources:

A rainbow hot air balloon, over the Olympian Peninsula
a mountain landscape in blue and white on approx. Lewis, Yakima, Skamania and Klickitat counties (the Blue Mountains)
grapes, vine leaves and wine bottle, NW-wards from Chelan county
a horse taming scene, perhaps a statue, in shades of grey, placed on Okanogan and Douglas counties
a bundle of four wheat ears, on Stevens county
a 19th cent. cannon, mostly on the south of Grant county
and a pair of onions, on Adams and Whitman counties.

Above the map, in white curved lettering set in non slanted cursive, the words "Walla Walla County", and below the map, set in a very different type, also in white, "Established 1854".

This flag was was created by Janice Mason, who won an official competition. Approximate ratio is 3:5.

The former flag shows a circular emblem on a white ~3:5 background. It reads "Walla Walla County" above and "Established 1854" below, set in black sans serif capitals. The emblem is divided in four quadrants, each featuring a local landmark or resource symbol:

NW: light blue mountain-scape,
NE: a sheaf (or garb?!) of wheat,
SE: an obelisk or pillory,
SW: three onions.
