The Tsoo-Yess River, sometimes called the Sooes River, is a stream on the Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington in the United States. It originates in the northwestern Olympic Mountains and empties into the Pacific Ocean. [2] The Makah National Fish Hatchery is located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) upstream and raises a variety of salmonid species.
