larson building

It is that time of year again when the city of Yakima comes to life. It is full of amazing holiday spirit! And the Larson Building stands in the middle of it all. It is such a great piece of Yakima Valley history and it is always fun to watch them light that building up.

Yakima’s Performance Park looked more like Hawktown USA Thursday afternoon when the Seattle Seahawks “12 Tour” bus rolled into town. Boom, the mini mascot, members of the Blue Thunder drum line, several of the Sea Gals cheerleading squad, and players Jimmy Staten and Super Bowl hero Chris Matthews held a quick, loud and inspiring rally for Yakima fans.

The landmarks in Yakima serves as so many purposes. Things to do in town, historical places to watch a show or eat. We decided to come up with 5 solid places that we can all connect with. Either we've been there, we know about or we show them off when we have people coming in from out of town. These Yakima landmarks serve us daily and many of us may take for granted.
