Introduction

Yakima is located in South Central Washington at the confluence of the Naches and Yakima Rivers. Yakima is the gateway to the Yakima Valley in one direction and the Cascade Mountains on the other.
Outstanding recreational opportunities, mixed with 300 days of sunshine yearly, make Yakima an excellent place to live or visit. Yakima and the surrounding area offers camping, fishing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, snow boarding, boating, and incredibly beautiful sight-seeing. The Yakima Valley is known for production of forest products, manufacturing aircraft parts and supplies; and machinery used in food product packaging. The main industry is agriculture that flourishes through producing and processing tree fruits, hops, mint, vegetables, livestock, dairy and wine. The extended growing season and rich soil provide the perfect conditions to produce grapes excellent for wine making.
