Located in Central Washington, the city of Yakima is both peaceful and quaint just 60 miles southeast of Mount Rainer. It’s located inside the Yakima Valley, which is noted for its abundance of apples, hops, and wineries. Locals are afforded many awardwinning wines in Yakima, the heart of Washington Wine Country. 

The area’s economy is mostly fueled by agriculture. Yakima Valley produces a lot of hops for beer production, making it one hoppy city. Residents look forward to satisfying their shopping needs at Valley Mall. In addition to multiple neighborhood parks, the city encompasses a local arboretum which has overflowing gardens, natural greenery, and large trees. 

The Yakima Valley Museum houses an extraordinary exhibit full of native artifacts, relics of early settlement life, plus a 1930s Art Deco soda fountain. It’s off Tieton Drive in front of Franklin Park.
