I'm building a website and want some photos showcasing both the good and bad sides of Yakima. Maybe some recognizable local features, and definitely want at least one of the whole valley. Any recommendations on where to go to take some good pics?

Don't have the budget to pay for licensed photos so I need to take my own.

I’m looking for a therapist in Yakima that does in person therapy. I’m not interested in on line.

Please make recommendations. Thank you.

I see that three shops are named as distributors on Riot’s site, but I’ve only heard back from one after asking around about products and events. I also see that one of the three (not the one that responded) holds weekly events and has given away prizes and promos. I’m somewhat new myself but see the game as having a lot of potential and am wondering if there is much interest in Yakima, generally.

I’m visiting my gf in Yakima tm and Thursday but she just moved there not too long ago so I’m wondering if any locals have any recommendations for things to do or places to see! We are big brewery people and love spending time outdoors but open to any events or activities!

I was going to water plants outside when I found this little bird just frozen in the concrete. I have dogs, so I put him on a higher shelf. I’m not sure what the next steps are, but if anyone can take it in please let me know. It has a big opening on its head as well.
I tried posting in a Facebook group, but my post hasn’t been approved yet. I called WDFW, but they said to try to locate a rehab place.

Hello, am moving to thearea in August. I am looking for some safe dive bars that I could bring a friend with me and feel comfortable! I will be living on the west side of town! Lmk thanks :)

I am not over 21 so 21+ spaces are off the list for me. But if there are 18+ areas and just in general fun things to do I would like to know. Is there a music scene here at all too?

is it allowed to post stuff for sale here??

Great event, just did not think questions were in line with our biggest challenges.

Here is my list, let me know what you think.

Top priority issues

Affordability — War impacts, tariffs, competition, housing, higher education, and groceries

Healthcare — Cost, access, and jobs

Agriculture — Input/output monopolies, fair markets, jobs, water access, and infrastructure

Energy — Infrastructure and cost

Corruption — Money in politics and self-dealing

Tax Fairness

Ailing Infrastructure

AI & Technology — Regulations, job displacement, and existential risks (e.g., “Terminator” scenarios)

Fiscal Sustainability — National debt, K-shaped economy, Medicare and Social Security insolvency

Immigration

Crime

National Security

Anybody have recommendations for an experienced handyman?

Driving back from a wedding today and looking for a place to stop and watch the final. Anyone know of any good sports bars that will be showing the game?

Absolutely cannot speak more highly of this individual. Quinn Dalan is someone I’ve known for almost 20 years and she has been a devoted friend, community advocate — working tirelessly to improve Yakima. She gives her time, energy, and resources to local groups and has served as the ED on VAS for the past several years.

I admire Quinn for a number of reasons but in a community where hate seems to dominate conversations, Quinn is someone who practices unwavering integrity with hope for all the good Yakima can be. Quinn has my vote!

Edit: Corporate contacted me. They had another incident with the dog owner. He's not allowed back and they refunded my stay.

Word of caution would never recommend staying at the my place hotel in Yakima! I think it's great that they allow dogs. I have an 85# lab putball mix myself, but when they are okay with a guest having an aggressive dog off-leash in the hallway that's threatening and nearly attacks a guest, yes me. And then the owner also verbally attacks the guest for being upset about the dog being off-leash, and they do nothing about it, but move me to another room, not the trouble maker. I wouldn't call it a safe place for anybody!!

Saw a German Shepard running around both north and southbound on 18th Ave near Englewood around 5:55 / 6:10 pm. Looked like it had a tag but I couldn’t stop to check who he/she belonged to.

Hi I’m moving to Yakima for school and am looking for housing near PNWU! Does anyone know any good apartments or people that are sub leasing? I need to move in like a week

I think I can do better, this is just a little flag I made for fun

Looking to get out of the house with my Fiance, was wondering if there’s anything to check out or do today?

Why is the Yakima Mayor spending his time trying influencing Spokane politics? I mean I’m assuming he should be busy running Yakima instead?

hey, i was wondering if anybody knows of somewhere to get a body kit and perhaps custom tail lights installed for a honda civic sport 2026. btw, i would be buying the parts, just don't trust myself of installing them myself. thanks!

Any advise ?

EDIT: I moved out of Yakima last year and now I’m coming back to WA. I could decide whether living in Yakima or Tri Cities but I wanted to give Richland a try. Shall it be worthy?
