Yakima Travel Guide

Considering the fact that Washington is notorious for its rainfall, it may seem hard to believe that eastern Washington's Yakima Valley receives only about 8 inches of rain per year. Located 3 hours from Seattle, Yakima is in another world—the sunny side of the Cascades. Despite the lack of rainfall, the area has become one of Washington's main apple-growing regions. Hops, used in making beer, are another important crop in the Yakima Valley, but it is grapes and the wines produced from those grapes that have been bringing the valley international attention for many years. On a visit to Yakima, you can sample the area's bounties at fruit stands, wineries, and microbreweries. Read More
