dont live there, but every 3 years I attend the PCRC NW Challenge. its not far too from there just outside of Ellensburg. There is some great wheeling around there in the Naches.
It is just a hop, skip and a jump from Seattle. It is right in the middle of wine country and some really beautiful wheeling areas.
Aaaahhh sweet yaki-vegas!!! I hear costco has a sweet azz call center there...
no, really, why there? If you do go there the only good thing going for Yakima is miner burger which is pretty much the only reason to stop on the way to seattle. It used to be referred to as the "Palm Springs of WA"...not so much anymore, not so much indeed.

Not what I would say. Aside from the wheelin and wine not sure what the alure is. Then again I'm going to be a Texan.
Wheelin', wine, a nice big river, beautiful scenery, peace and quiet... sounds good to me, dude...

Nah, but I love the NorthWest. I mean, it can't be worse than Redding, right?
Shoot, the Wenatchee area is the place to live in eastern Washington! But you had better be good with a wrench. I've called around to junk yards all over this side of the state. Not a single D1...anywhere. Columbia Rovers has a shop in Yakima (great service).

I really haven't spent much time there at all. My sister lives there and has offered to basically give me 4 acres. It's actually up on the hill in Selah, across the bridge.
She owes the restaurant Sage and a few other things in town. I'm really just seeing what others think of the place...

Yakima is just like Redding except that you aren't next to Mt Shasta and you can't buy booze at the local grocery store...

Yeah, yeah..we're still waiting for you to PHYSICALLY move here. Mentally is another story

Selah is a cool place. Def. pretty much all farmland out that way. The Yakima river is pretty fun when the water is high, cost of living is probably cheaper than living in UT (at least it was when I was in the tri-cities, +-1 hour east) From there you can get into some great hiking/camping/4 wheeling. If you're into fishing there are some good salmon and steelhead runs too as well as great bass in the valley lakes/irrigation ponds. I spent most of my time east of Yak on the Columbia/Snake rivers. All in all cool region, wish I could find my way back out there. good luck
