Yakima is centrally located in WA state.  Yakima is an outdoor adventurerâ™s paradise.  Located in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountain range, Yakima boasts an average of 300 sunny days per year.  The region features a confluence of mountains, desert, and farmland.  The diverse region offers 4 seasons of outdoor activities that include:  trails for hiking and snowshoeing, mountains for biking and skiing, and rivers for paddling sports and fly-fishing.  Yakima is also known for its agricultural bounty.  Yakima orchards supply apples globally, but local farms allow residents to buy fresh produce straight from the field.  The regionâ™s vineyards supply grapes for some of the finest WA wine producers.  And Yakima farmers are the largest producers of hops for beer production internationally.  Hops are big business and support a thriving local craft beer industry.
