There are many ways here for you to connect with Tribal culture and tradition. 5 Why Here? This sage covered land was barely suited for cattle ranching. Who thought locating a community here was a good idea? 5 Just Add Water With rich volcanic ash, sediment from the Missoula floods and near constant sunshine, an irrigation system was the only missing ingredient. 6 Tracing the Valley’s History A visit to local museums is a great way to start your exploration of the Yakima Valley. 8 Historic North Yakima District Featuring boutique shops, wine tasting, and restaurants, the town the railroad moved in the mid-1800s is still thriving. A sunny disposition 12 Downtown Yakima Spend countless hours in downtown Yakima enjoying shopping, art, dining, craft beverages and live performances. 14 Yakima Convention Center Combining 41,000 sq. ft. of flexible conference and meeting space with 300 days of sunshine makes it an ideal venue. 16 Communities of the Valley The communities that were born in the Yakima Valley each have a history, culture and personality as diverse as the people who live, work and play in them.

Clemens. ©Karl Corpron 2 Yakima Valley Tourism YakimaVG2015.indd 2 2/4/15 5:14 PM Valley Reflections: Yesterday and today G by Marcus Yearout Growing up in the Yakima Valley of the 1950s and 60s was a really special thing. Of course, it wasn’t so obvious at the time, but with the benefit of 60+ years of hindsight, it was a truly magical time and place to be a kid. My cousin Jon and I would ride our horses and meet at the Wapato water tower that was about halfway between our two houses. From there we would head through the cottonwoods along the Yakima River, across massive irrigation canals, past fruit orchards and up to the crest of Ahtanum Ridge where, chomping on our PB&J sandwiches, we’d gaze down at the huge metropolis of Yakima… or so it seemed to a couple of 12-year olds from tiny Wapato. so what made the desert bloom? As a kid, I just liked being in the place; on my horse with my best friend. I didn’t think then about the patchwork quilt of fruit orchards and hop fields and the acres of mint and asparagus, sweet corn and watermelon and grapes that extended in the distance as far as the eye could see. (Note that most of the grapes growing back then were destined for juices and jellies; the renowned wine industry that’s here now had not quite dawned.) Back then I didn’t wonder or even care about how any of that was possible in a valley that was surrounded by desert and sage covered hills. I didn’t think about why Yakima was built in such isolated, seemingly barren country or why so many diverse cultures decided to move here and call it home. But I’ve thought plenty about it since. The enduring spirit lives on today The story of how the railroads and massive irrigation projects shaped the Valley’s destiny and turned this desert into one of the nation’s most bountiful regions still fills me with fascination. The original Native Yakama people managed to thrive here since the beginning of time and the hearty, resourceful settlers who came later, scratched out a future stoked by imagination that seems to have defied any explainable logic. Much of the character and spirit that built these communities still exists today. So, it is with both pride and unabashed prejudice that I invite you to add the Yakima Valley to your bucket list of “places to go” in the very near future. To that end, I hope this guide will provide plenty of ideas, inspiration and motivation to start making your travel plans. The publisher, Marcus Yearout, is a 1968 graduate of Wapato High School and still rides with his cousin Jon to this day. www.YakimaValleyTourism.com YakimaVG2015.indd 3 3 2/4/15 5:14 PM LOOKING BACK... L “Looking at the sun-drenched town of Yakima, you might find it hard to believe this place is a desert. The surrounding agricultural areas are renowned for crisp apples and a whopping three-quarters of all hops grown in the country. Located on North Front Street, the original city hall built around 1885 still exists but is “buried” behind this facade that was added in the 1920s. But it wasn’t always this way: 19th-century pioneers faced an inhospitable sagebrush desert, since tamed through a series of ingenious irrigation canals using fresh mountain runoff, that brought the fertile volcanic soil roaring to verdant life.” Travel + Leisure Magazine The Valley’s first people Since time immemorial, the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation have occupied the land that extends in all directions from the lowlands around the Columbia River to the Cascade Mountains that includes the Yakima Valley. The ancestral home of the Yakama Nation is surrounded by sloping foothills, with wild sagebrush and a mixture of wild flowers, that lead to the pine trees and towering volcanic peaks of Mount Adams and Mount Rainier. For centuries, they fished, farmed and hunted here, establishing ongoing commerce through ancient trade routes, like Celilo Falls, long before the Lewis & Clark expedition. When visiting the Valley, come and share the experience of their heritage and legacy at the 4 Agriculture provided opportunities for refugees of the Dust Bowl in the pre-WWII era. Yakama Nation Museum of the Cultural Heritage Center. Designed to tell the story of the Plateau people and their lands, the Yakama Nation Museum is recognized as one of the finest Native American Museums in the United States. Yakima City is established The town of Yakima City started as a small cattle rancher village in the 1860s just as the Civil War was beginning to heat up. It was situated along Ahtanum Creek near the “gap” that leads to the lower valley. In 1880 things changed forever when the Northern Pacific (NP) railroad, for a variety of reasons, decided to locate its depot four miles north of town. In early 1885, plats were filed for a new town called “North Yakima.” If you build it, they will move As an incentive to the business community of Yakima City, NP offered to pay all expenses to move buildings by horse-drawn skids and rolling logs to the new location. This helped establish the community as the hub of commerce. The 1910 depot—the third iteration—still stands and is surrounded by other buildings that were constructed in that period in the “Old Town” district along Front Street. New construction in North Yakima included an Opera House and while the building still stands to this day, the “fat lady” belted out her last aria long ago and the place is now home to a floral and gift shop. Several other historic buildings located here house a variety of retail shops, restaurants and tasting rooms.

Transforming the desert So now we’ve got a relocated town near a train depot in the desert and a small village on the banks of the Ahtanum and Yakima Rivers suited only to cattle ranching. So how did the Yakima Valley become one of the nation’s richest agricultural regions? First, the Valley was blessed with fertile soil— partially the result of ancient volcanic eruptions by Mount Rainier, Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens—so the foundation was laid millions of years ago. Then around 16,000 years ago, repeated glacial floods dumped a layer of silt over everything. With this rich combination of volcanic ash and glacial silt in place… all that was needed was water. Early farmers that were able to irrigate using water from the surrounding creeks and rivers were getting great results and supplying fresh fruit and vegetables for the growing community, but not nearly enough to export and build an economic base. Irrigation projects create our bounty In order to expand the growing acreage and the agricultural segment of the economy, finding a reliable source of water and expanding the irrigation systems quickly became a priority. While some early irrigation projects were undertaken by (and are still managed by) the Yakama Nation, it should come as little surprise that a lot of this effort was spurred by the Northern Pacific Railway. They saw potential in shipping agricultural products but also, as a major landowner, realized they could sell irrigated land for $4050 per acre compared to $4 for dry land. NP could not afford the massive project so, along with others, they pushed the Federal Government to pass the Federal Reclamation Act of 1902 to provide money that got the job moving in a big way. Harnessing water flowing from the Cascade Mountains and into the Yakima River and building dams to create storage reservoirs, was a massive public works project that employed thousands. As the irrigation projects expanded, more farmland was created. Orchards that just 40-50 years ago stopped near the base of the sage-covered ridges, now rise nearly to the top of the hillsides. www.YakimaValleyTourism.com YakimaVG2015.indd 5 5 2/4/15 5:14 PM Agri-Cultural diversity With more orchards came more opportunity and a need for farmers and a labor force to plant, nurture and harvest the crops. This led to the cultural diversity of our communities that we enjoy. Scottish, German, Scandinavian, Filipino and Japanese farmers moved here and started farms; some roadside produce stands are still owned and operated by third- or fourth-generation family members. Migrant labor from the Dust Bowl came for the work during the Great Depression. Our rich Latino culture, (which today includes several business and civic leaders in communities up and down the Valley), was initially lured here by the opportunities provided by our agriculture industry. Time to get out and explore You can experience some of our living heritage by visiting North Yakima’s “Historic District” and driving to Union Gap (the original Yakima City) on 1st Street south to get a sense of the scope of the city relocation project. Imagine entire buildings being pulled along this route on skids by teams of horses and mules. If you want to dig deeper into the Valley’s history, a stop at any number of local museums will provide a basis for more exploration. Probably the best first stop for the “survey course” is the Yakima Valley Museum. In Union Gap, don’t pass by the Central Washington Agricultural Museum. It’s fun to try and figure out what tasks were performed by many of the ingenious and intricate farm implements you’ll see there. YAKIMA VALLEY MUSEUM 6 Built on a site strategically intended to disrupt a traditional Yakama trade route and gathering spot, a visit to Fort Simcoe State Park makes it easy to visualize life there in the 1850s. From Simcoe, head into Toppenish to the Yakama Nation’s fine cultural heritage museum where incidentally, you can spend the night camping in a teepee with a view of Mount Adams if the mood strikes you. Also in downtown Toppenish, you can visit the Northern Pacific Railway Museum and trace roots of the Valley’s hop industry across the street at the American Hop Museum. Each year, on the first Saturday in June the Toppenish Mural Society gets a group of artists together to complete a mural in one day. The community now features 76 historically accurate murals. Visit www.visittoppenish.com to download a mural walking tour map. Yakima Valley Trolley One of the best ways to experience today through yesterday’s eyes, is to hop aboard the Yakima Valley Trolley. Operated on the tracks of the former Yakima Valley Transportation Company in Yakima, the trolley line is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because it is the last authentic, all-original, turn-of-the-century interurban electric railroad in the United States.

It is home to acres of parks, family-owned farms and wineries, Black Rock Creek’s 18-hole golf course, and numerous events and attractions that welcome thousands of visitors each year.

Award-winning wines, for instance, and farm-fresh fruits and vegetables. Exhilarating recreational opportunities and museums devoted to the region’s cultural influences. But it’s what you might not expect that makes the Yakima Valley such a surprisingly satisfying destination. In a nutshell, we just don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re proud of what we produce, but we don’t let it go to our heads. In fact, we’re just as excited about some of our more curious attractions—like the dinosaur statues in Granger or the Teapot Dome in Zillah—as we are of our spectacular wineries and great farms. The Yakima Valley invites visitors to dip their toes into a little nostalgia, a little Americana and a whole lot of fun. The Central Washington State Fair There’s nothing more American than a fair. Nowhere else can you fill up on fried foods, great games, live music and exciting rides. Here in the Yakima Valley, we have a pretty darn good one that takes place in late September at State Fair Park, on Fair Avenue just off I-82. The State’s official fair since the late 1890s, the Central Washington State Fair has retained all of the charm of those early expositions. Many of its participants and exhibitors live, farm and raise their animals right here in the Yakima Valley. It is one of the best annual displays of agriculture anywhere in the state. The Dinosaurs of Granger The tiny town of Granger has a gigantic theme: “Where the dinosaurs roam.” The slogan was reportedly inspired by the discovery in 1958 of mastodon bones at a mine once owned by the Granger Clay Co. (Never mind that mastodons are not technically dinosaurs.) The town is dotted with statues of dinosaurs—many constructed during the family fun “Dino-in-a-Day” events held each year—making this an extremely delightful detour when traveling on SR-22. The Murals of Toppenish This historic community in the Yakima Valley has an Old West feel, Native American traditions and an easily apparent artistic streak that quite literally had local artists climbing the walls. “The City of Murals” boasts 75 life-size paintings that depict farming, aviation, railroading, rodeos and numerous other historical landscapes. Wander through town on your own or enjoy the murals from a mulepowered wagon tour.

Harding’s administration. It used to be a service station, and is now one of those quintessential roadside attractions that you don’t really have to “get,” but you definitely have to photograph. The newly renovated teapot is now serving as Zillah’s visitor center in the center of town. The Trolleys of Downtown Yakima It’ll take you more than half an hour to travel two blocks and back, but your conductor will know more about trolley cars and Yakima’s history than anyone else you’ll meet during your stay. The ride is a glimpse into the past, but the refurbished streetcars feature ingenious seats that ensure you’re always facing forward.

And indeed, we are the home to one of the most bountiful fruit and vegetable regions in the nation. Our wine grapes are fast becoming the stuff of legend. Not to be outdone, the Yakima Valley grows nearly 80% of the hops used by breweries throughout the United States. Combine what we grow here with what we manufacture—from wines, beers, ciders, distilled liquors and juices, to candies, art, and even a quality line of skin care products—you get the idea that in addition to agriculture, this fertile land also grows plenty of innovative artisans. 28 Yakima Valley Tourism YakimaVG2015.indd 28 2/4/15 5:15 PM The Yakima Valley is among the most fertile and productive agricultural regions in the nation. ©Yakima Valley Tourism www.YakimaValleyTourism.com YakimaVG2015.indd 29 29 2/4/15 5:15 PM farm fresh fun! More than 40 commercial crops are grown in the Yakima Valley, so farm-fresh produce is within reach nearly year-round—from asparagus in April to apples and potatoes in November. Some summer months are particularly fruitful, like July and August, which tempts with just-picked apricots, green beans, blueberries, corn, nectarines and squash. Nowhere else in the state can you feast on food so close to where it was grown. You might say that in the Valley, the source of your next meal is just a stone-fruit’s throw away. A trip to a family-owned local farm beats a visit to the grocery store any day. If you only have eyes for organic, look no further than the Valley. You’ll find many organic producers at weekly and weekend farmers markets in Ellensburg, Goldendale, Prosser, Selah, Sunnyside and Yakima. Visit one of these seasonal open-air bazaars and you’ll have a unique opportunity to meet the friendly farmers who grow your food. Not only will they greet you warmly and ply you with samples, they’ll happily share cooking tips and introduce you to new varieties of fruits and vegetables. T The bountiful Yakima Valley is a sunny region rich with orchards, farms and vineyards. It’s never been easier to eat local. 30 Even in the winter months, when fields are quiet, you can savor the Valley’s bounty at restaurants and bistros who specialize in locally sourced ingredients. The Yakima Valley is one of those rare destinations where “local flavor” can be experienced quite literally.

There are 100 wineries in the 70-mile-long Yakima Valley; most are family-run boutique producers that don’t distribute out of state, so if you want to taste them, you have to head to the source.” Conde’ Nast Traveler, 2014 by Sean Sullivan The Yakima Valley holds a special place in Washington wine’s past, present, and future. Once you visit, it will hold a special place in your heart too. An agrarian center that has been farmed for more than 150 years, the Yakima Valley has a long history with viticulture. The earliest grape vines were planted in the Valley in 1868. While those vines are long gone, numerous old vine plantings still exist. On Snipes Mountain, thick, gnarled vines planted in 1917 are still producing commercial grapes—the oldest known wine grape vines in the state. Other old vine plantings from the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s are sprinkled throughout the Valley. remains the workhorse of the Washington wine industry. As a grape growing region, the Yakima Valley produces more than one third of all the wine grapes grown in Washington. As a wine touring region, nearly 100 wineries and tasting rooms call the Valley home. While wineries are spread throughout the Valley, many are centered around the towns and areas of Yakima, Zillah, Red Mountain, and Prosser. In Yakima, you can walk around downtown’s historic buildings while stopping in tasting rooms along the way. These viticultural elder statesmen are known to produce some of the state’s most sought after wines and are a testament to the Valley’s long grape growing history. To the southeast, Zillah is brimming with wineries and vineyards and is known for its bucolic charm. Prosser is home to numerous wineries, each of which has their own unique appeal. Red Mountain, near Benton City, meanwhile has long been known for growing some of Washington’s best wine grapes but the area is also increasingly a wine touring destination. The Yakima Valley also holds the distinction of becoming Washington’s first federally approved grape growing region in 1983, the second in the nation after Napa Valley. Since that time, the Valley has been and Diversity is the calling card of the Yakima Valley, which produces over 30 different wine grape varieties.

Tasting at the source is a unique experience that the Yakima Valley’s breweries, cideries and distilleries provide visitors. The ingredients are typically grown right outside the production room door, bringing a special ambiance to the flavor and intricate details of the craft beverages. Visit www.spiritsandhopstrail.com for more information. 44 by Sean Sullivan Yakima Valley is not only fruit and wine country, it is also the center of U.S. hop production. The Yakima Valley grows an astonishing 78% of all of the hops produced in the United States. These hops aren’t just critical to beer production here in the U.S. Two thirds of the Valley’s hops are exported to countries around the globe. Besides hops, the excellent growing conditions in the Yakima Valley also yield fruits that produce quality ciders and distilled beverages. If you get "wined out," be sure to add a visit to one of our popular cideries or distilleries while you’re in the area. There are more than 30 different hop varieties grown in the Yakima Valley where the long, warm summer days provide a perfect climate. Each variety has a distinct aroma, flavor, and level of bitterness. Hops have a multifunctional role in beer. They provide aromatics and also balance the sweetness of malt with hops’ natural bitterness. There are many ways to explore Yakima Valley hops. The American Hop Museum in Toppenish (www.americanhopmuseum.org) is a good place to start. This is the country’s only museum dedicated to the history of hops and is open May through September. In addition to numerous breweries using local hops, there are also distilleries and cideries located throughout the Yakima Valley. Not to be missed, downtown Yakima hosts an Annual Fresh Hop Ale Festival (www.freshhopalefestival.com) the first Saturday in October. The requirement for the event is that Yakima Valley hops used in the brews must travel from the vine to the brewing vat in less than 24 hours. It’s a hopping good time!

Visit www.trekyakima.com for more information. Those who wish to blend their passion for cycling with the bounty of the Valley can take a ride through orchards and vineyards. The lower Yakima Valley features many wineries that can be toured by bicycle as well as vehicle. Exploring the Yakima Greenway The Yakima Greenway is comprised of 3,600 acres of lush vegetation and a 10-mile pathway that follows the Yakima River and attracts walkers, bicyclists, skaters, runners, picnickers and families to its parks, shady nooks, lakes and playgrounds. The natural greenbelt includes three parks, two fishing lakes, two rivers and four river access landings. Fishing, Hiking and Horseback Riding There are numerous trailheads throughout the Yakima Valley for hikers and equestrians of all skill levels, as well as access to fishing, hunting and exploring the high lakes, mountain meadows and streams. Swimming, boating, fishing and horseback riding are available at Bumping Lake (SR 410) and Rimrock Lake (Hwy 12). The Yakima River Canyon is a classic western trout stream where fly fishing has become increasingly popular in recent years. The ripples and pools provide great places for prize rainbows to hide and feed. Prime times for fishing are September-November and in the spring, when flows are highly variable and a wide variety of insect hatches provide excellent angling. Yakima Valley Outdoor Adventure In the Yakima Valley, weather and topography team up to create the perfect conditions for outdoor adventure. Weather in the Valley is moderate during the spring and fall, crisp and cold in the winter, and hot and dry in the summer. No matter what the season, there’s a good chance the sun will be shining. Spectacular mountain passes, deep blue lakes, rushing rivers and pretty meadows provide a wealth of exhilarating recreational options. For the adventurous, there is skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing and river rafting, alongside the more serene pursuits of horseback riding, hiking and golfing. Bicycling Crave spectacular views or challenging climbs? Yakima and the Valley have much to offer cycling enthusiasts. Elite riders will enjoy the grades west of Yakima from Eschbach Park to Naches Heights and Lake Wenas. If you’re looking for a less strenuous, but no less breathtaking trip, venture to the Yakima River Canyon, where one day each May, traffic is Fishermen must release all trout on this river and are restricted to artificial flies or lures with a barbless hook. There are many local outfitters who can provide guided outings on the river and help to ensure that your first experience on the fantastic Yakima River is a memorable one. Golfing in an Apple Orchard? Nestled in an orchard in west Yakima, Apple Tree Resort is easily the region’s finest golfing destination. Carved from the beautiful rolling terrain of 100-year old orchards, the course features the world-famous apple island green, named “One of the 9 Best Island Golf Holes in the World” by Back Nine Network. The rest of the championship track plays over 6,900 yards and offers golfers of all skill levels an enjoyable experience. Whether golfing or not, you can also enjoy a mouthwatering meal with spectacular course views at the Apple Tree Grill, or schedule a tour of the Apple Tree Resort Community, featuring affordable and custom family homes.

Both provide beautiful scenic drives, access to the Pacific Crest Trail, and numerous opportunities for hiking, fishing, mountain-biking and nature photography. White Pass Ski Area © Matthew Poppoff Public golfing is also available at River Ridge Golf Course in Selah, Suntides Golf Course in Gleed; Westwood and Fisher in Yakima, and Mount Adams Country Club in Toppenish. Recreation on the Yakima River and Yakima River Canyon During the summer months, there isn’t a more relaxing way to soak up the beauty of the Valley than a gentle, 11-mile float down the Yakima River. Motorized watercraft are prohibited on the river, except between the Roza Recreational Site and Roza Dam, which controls irrigation for 72,000 irrigated acres downstream. Rill Adventures can outfit you with rafting, rowing and fishing gear, as well as picnic lunches, ice chests and dry bags. The company also offers kayaking lessons, shuttle service and full-moon floats June through August. A drive down the Yakima Canyon Road (SR 821), which connects I-90 and I-82, is a breathtaking journey dotted with wildlife. Along this designated scenic route you’ll find plenty to pass the time, including fishing, easy river rafting and camping. 50 Follow the meandering river as it sometimes slices between basalt cliffs formed by centuries-old upheavals. It’s thought that the Yakima River predates those stony ramparts, once flowing across a relatively flat landscape. As rock ridges rose, river erosion equaled the uplift, cutting a narrow gorge. As you drift, drive or bicycle by, you can see the basalt layers in valley walls that once formed part of one of the largest lava fields in the world, said to have covered more than 200,000 square miles in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The canyon attracts bald eagles, especially in winter, as well as 21 raptor species and birds of every variety, which flock to the numerous mini-climates and vegetation types found here. You’re also likely to spot river otters, coyotes, cougars, bears and deer. Rock Climbing The Yakima Valley is home to the Tieton River area, which is accessible from White Pass (Hwy 12) and offers excellent traditional and sport climbing for all skill levels. The volcanic rock was shaped by lava flows that created columns of Andesite, a form of basalt that is unique to the region. The White Pass Ski Area has excellent Alpine and Nordic facilities and even offers a number of summer activities at the White Pass Village Inn, including bird watching, fishing and swimming. Alpine skiing and snowboard enthusiasts will revel in the newly expanded ski area and additional 767 acres of terrain as well as two more quad chair lifts and a 3,000 square-foot midmountain lodge. Nearby Rimrock Lake has been a popular camping, waterskiing, swimming and fishing destination for generations. White-Water Rafting on the Tieton River Every September, Pacific Northwest whitewater enthusiasts gear up for one of the State’s most invigorating rafting trips. The Yakima Valley Flip Flop is an annual event that takes advantage of the manipulation of the Tieton River for irrigation. A torrent of water is released from Rimrock Lake down the Tieton River and into the Naches River, more than doubling the river’s normal flow to 2,500 cubic feet and creating a fast-paced intermediate rafting run. Osprey Rafting Co. provides white water trips complete with lunch or dinner. Runs fill up quickly, so call early for reservations.
