A car wash in Texas - Joke, first link ;)
I cannot find an explicit definition but it appears to be the zone in a wetlands between low and high tide that is washed by tidal waters as the water level rises and falls. The second link is a photo of a tidal wash. The wikipedia link to the Fens defines a salt marsh as the upper part of a tidal wash and it also defines a "Wash, which at greater or shorter intervals had bodies of water flowing over it, as in tidal mud-flats or braided rivers."

I live in north county San Diego and right above a huge salt water lagoon.As the tides proceed to flow in and out of these lagoons,the water tends to "wash"stuff as it passes by.Another way of saying it would be a tidal "Flush"...tom science
