Kettle Falls is a city in Stevens County, Washington, United States. The population was 1,527 at the 2000 census. Salish speakers called it Shonitkwu, meaning roaring or noisy waters .
On the Columbia, Kettle Falls had always been an important site to the local Native Americans, who traveled to the falls to fish for salmon in the summer, standing on the rocks of the shore or on Indian Island with spears and baskets. Kettle Falls took its name from the "kettles" worn in the bedrock by rocks swirling in the tremendous currents of the falls. Before the rising waters flooded the falls in 1940, the burial grounds on Indian Island were moved, and the Native Americans in the area came to mourn the loss of their ancient fishing grounds in a final gathering.
