Keller is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in southwestern Ferry County in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Washington.

At its height the town had an estimated population of 3,500 and even featured a minor league baseball team and red light district.

The area surrounding the ferry's northern landing was by that point subject to a level 3 "go now" evacuation order by the fire command.

[5] On the evening of July 24 a level 3 notice was issued for the greater Keller area as the winds shifted westerly and pushed flames northeasterly.

[6] To assist with the increased level 3 evacuations, the Keller Ferry resumed service from the northern launch only, but is running overnight, contrary to regular scheduling which stops at dusk.
