Kerriston is an extinct town in King County, in the U.S. state of Washington. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]

A post office called Kerriston was established in 1904, and remained in operation until 1935.[2] The community most likely derived its name from the local Kerry Mill Company.[3]
