The Malott Improvement Club, Malott, Washington.

Malott is a small unincorporated community in Okanogan County, Washington, USA. The community sits on the western bank of the Okanogan River and has bridge access to highway 97. It has a general store, bar and church.

Malott takes its name from L.C. Malott, who first settled in the area in 1886. The town was founded in 1890 and platted in 1909.[1] Originally a stopover point with a hotel, most of the town was destroyed by flooding in 1938 after a dam burst on Loop Loop Creek.[1]

Okanogan lies 9 miles to the northeast.
