Every year, I tell my friends that on the Fourth of July, my neighborhood in Moxee resembles downtown Baghdad, so every year more and more of my friends and family come to my house to celebrate Independence Day to see the insane display.
Fireworks are allowed under certain restrictions in Granger, Harrah, Mabton, Moxee and Zillah. Fireworks are banned in the cities of Yakima, Selah and Sunnyside.
Every year around the Fourth of July, we are reminded to keep our pets safe because it's the one day out of the year that the most animals go missing.
But there's someone else you should be mindful of this holiday weekend: veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan.
Great food, entertainment and family fun awaits you at this year's Fourth of July celebration at State Fair Park.
Entice the Mice will headline the entertainment bill, along with country cutie Sophia Tilly and Zamreu. Back again this year by popular demand is a naturalization ceremony, hosted by the Department of Homeland Security, in which immigrants will be granted United States citizenship...
