The Dewatto River is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington. It originates in western Kitsap Peninsula and flows south, emptying into Hood Canal.[2] The name "Dewatto" comes from the Twana placename [duʔwátaxʷ],[3] which implies the presence of spirits causing mental derangement near the stream's mouth.[4]
