Fabulous Fall Foliage
Fall colors are in abundance at the Yakima Area Arboretum!
Hop Art
A photo of hops adorns a utility box along 40th Avenue. It’s one in a series of utility boxes that have been wrapped in artwork throughout the City of Yakima. Visit Yakima Arts Commission | City Council (yakimawa.gov) for more about this and other community art projects within the city.
Fruit Row Recognition
The Yakima City Council proclaimed September “Harvest Month” in the City of Yakima. The proclamation celebrates agriculture’s contributions to the community and the Fruit Row National Historic District. Fruit Row is the oldest functioning agricultural warehouse district in Yakima County.
Sister City moment
