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.
