La Push is a small unincorporated community situated at the mouth of the Quillayute River in Clallam County, Washington, United States, in the Western Olympic Peninsula. La Push is the main population center within the Quileute Indian Reservation, which is home to the federally recognized Quileute tribe. La Push is known for its whale-watching and natural environment.[citation needed] The community has historically been located on the coast; however, sea level rise led the community to begin managed retreat to higher grounds in 2017.[1]
