The surrounding desert has a particular beauty
Con
Yakima is a long way from Paris. It is a little short for cultural attractions and wild night life.
In a nutshell
I felt a great uplift in my soul after visiting my friend Dar and Bernal there
The 12th Avenue Massage Clinic
cochinjew Says: T hey advertise themselves as the best massage in Yakima and they possibly are right. My sister friend Dar had organized a massage for me, after my long schlepp from Miami to yakima via Seattle. There are four massage therapists on staff and Jodie did a very good massage and...
cochinjew Says: it was surprised to see a thriving mexican community here in , then I realized that this valley is fertile and full of agricultural enterprises and the mexicans had come to work here. there are filipinos who came before the second world war. and of course there are the...
cochinjew Says: During the first week of November there were still fading colours of the autumn. i was told that the place was radiant just a few days back.. so it must be good to come in october to this place
cochinjew Says: this is st elizabeth nursing school. this building was the school and the dormitory of the nursing school. it was a little eery walking around and peering at the pictures of the graduates. Imagine the ones who graduated in the 1910s.. nearly one hundred years ago.. it must...
visiting the old part of Yakima Town
cochinjew Says: This area was not the original Yakima central but Yakima North but slowly this became the center of the town

Taj Palace: Just Ordinary "Indian" Food
cochinjew Says: To call generic food from the subcontinent of India, "Indian", is to call Albanian food, European Food! food from one particular region of India, usually cooked by people from another region and in many cases from another country, is presented to the european and american...
Pasta 901: a very ordinary Restaurant
cochinjew Says: To call this an Italian establishment would be an insult to the Italian people and their palates. Ordinary place serving very ordinary food. I had a half selection of Oriental Pasta and the other half of Vegetables with a nice slice of foccacia.Felt very sleepy afterwards,...
Mexican American Restaurant: mexican restaurant at greyhound bus station
cochinjew Says: at least they are honest, they call it mexican american food rather than calling it mexican. and the location is unfortunate in that there is the connotation of greyhound bus passengers.. usa is thought of as glamourous and glorious outside the country, to the first time...
cochinjew Says: The appearance of the girls behind the counter did not give any confidence about the quality of the coffee and in fact it was one of the worst capuccinos. and their attitudes were impossible to match, with no service to attest to it.. and not their fault, the bagels were a...
NEW THAI Restaurant: Reasonable Thai Food
cochinjew Says: The ambience was generic. the decor downright out of Walmart ideas on decorations.the service was good and unintrusive. it was nice to see lots of families eating together. total absence of asians, hopefully the chef is not mexican ( as it happened to be at a thai restaurant...
The Soda Fountain at the Yakima Valley Museum: 1950s style ice cream parlor
yooperprof Says: A cute place to go for a chili dog and milk shake. Don't you just love it when they make the shake in one of the authentic steel mixing containers - and then after they pour the shake into a glass, they give you the entire container to enjoy? This authentic Soda Fountain is...
Bert Grant's: Local Microbrew with National Reputation
yooperprof Says: Grant's makes some fine beers, but I think there are better microbreweries in the Pacific Northwest. (Check out the DesChutes brewery in Bend OR.) I am not completely enamoured of the range of beers that Grant's brews. Some of them just don't seem very palatable to me - of...
Bob's Keg and Cork: Meet Yakima's Hipsters Here
yooperprof Says: Bob's Keg and Cork is a wonderful Wine Bar and Beer Pub in downtown Yakima. Their selection of locally produced beverages is very impressive. After all, the Yakima Valley is both a significant wine-producing region, AND one of the most bountiful and blessed hop producing...

dont book your flight in the morning
cochinjew Says: Yakima lies in a valley and there is dense fog many of the mornings and it is not unusual for hte morning flights to be cancelled. the six am flight is usually cancelled on foggy days and then the night flights may not arrive because of the fog. the bus is a ten seater so...
yooperprof Says: If you go hiking in the summer, why not go early in the morning, before the sun rises to its full height. There's not much shade out there. And do remember to hydrate!
cochinjew Says: Yakima is named after the confederation of Yakama tribes which inhabited this area before the arrival of the europeans.Their very large reservation with mountains, forests and salmon hatcheries are a very short twenty minutes away. There is also a cultural museum and a very...
yooperprof Says: The Yakima County Jail is nothing if not austere - but it does its job without being a complete blot upon its neighborhood. Architecturally, it's quite an interesting building.
yooperprof Says: It looks a little bleak here. It's very much a "western" town - as if everything is still tentative, and people aren't really sure whether or not they want to stay here. Unfortunately, downtown Yakima isn't much of a center. All the big retail development occurs out by the...
Great views of the Yakima River
yooperprof Says: After climbing a little bit, you realize how far up you are, and how far down in the watershed below.

I felt so good being here in Yakima with my friends. Eventhough the city is fairly young, possibly from 1900s, after all this area was new to the americans until lewis and clarke passed through here...
Yakima - Central Washington's Desert Capital
Say you're going to Washington State and everyone will imagine Seattle, Puget Sound, and the forests of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains. But there's another Washington State on the eastern side of...
I have a lot to say about the town in which I grew-up in. I hope to add a list of a bunch of wineries in the Yakima Valley (there are 36+) but I will only mention my favorites. Also, I will include......
Yakima is a nice town of about 70,000 situated at about the center of Washington State. The chief product is the Red Delicious Apple, which is marketed world wide. The terrain is semi-mountainous,...
