Olalla is a small unincorporated community in Kitsap County, Washington. It is located on the Puget Sound and is just north of the Pierce County county line. Olalla used to be larger than Port Orchard, county seat of Kitsap County. A former logging area, Olalla now partially relies on tourism, hosting an annual Strawberry Festival and Bluegrass Festival. Olalla is now a residential community for commuters to nearby cities and towns, although a working-class population from the logging days still remains.
Its name is the Salishan and Chinook Jargon word for "berry".
Olalla has some small claim to fame as the location of "Starvation Heights", a sanitarium owned and opreated by Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard. Dr. Hazzard's practice of starvation to cure one's ills resulted in the death of a visiting English heiress in 1911, and the conviction of Dr. Hazzard for her murder. The site is now abandoned, but remains of interest to ghost hunters and crime historians.
