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