Who levies sales tax across Walla Walla's ZIP code
Each government below levies its own share, but not all of them reach every address: the ZIP code covering Walla Walla reaches into more than one state, and an address pays only the shares whose boundary it falls inside.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oregon | state | 0% | Jan 1, 1970 | Oregon — no sales tax |
| Washington | state | 6.5% | Mar 1, 1983 | Current jurisdiction rate and boundary files |
No total is shown because more than one state is listed. An address falls inside only one of each, so these shares are alternatives rather than a stack, and adding them all up would give a figure nobody pays.
