It originates in the northwestern Olympic Mountains and empties into the Pacific Ocean.〔General course info from USGS topographic maps accessed via the "GNIS in Google Map" feature of the USGS Geographic Names Information System website.〕 The name "Waatch" comes from the Makah village name ''/waʔač'/'', said to mean "bundling up cedar to make a torch". ==Course== The Waatch River originates in the northwestern portion of Olympic Peninsula in the Makah Reservation. It flows north for several miles to within a mile of Neah Bay. After collecting the tributary Educket Creek the Waatch River turns west. It empties into the Pacific Ocean at northern end of Makah Bay, south of Waatch Point and Cape Flattery, and about a mile north of the mouth of the Sooes River. The Makah Air Force Station is located at the river's mouth.〔
