The Yakima Valley has a lot to offer. Culturally diverse, you will find welcoming
people who share a love for culture and the outdoors. The Yakima Valley has become
one of the premier wine-producing regions in the world and now is home to some 65
wineries. We are just a short three hours away from the beautiful city of Seattle,
great for a weekend getaway for a Mariners or Seahawks game or to enjoy shopping
and fine dining. You can be on the world-class ski slopes of White Pass two hours
after you leave your driveway. Anglers experience world-class trout fishing in the
Yakima River, and in the Columbia River, anglers fish year-round for salmon, steelhead,
sturgeon, walleye and bass. Windsurfers and kiteboarders travel from all over the
world to enjoy their sport in the Columbia Gorge, which is just an hour away.
Bloomsday, one of the largest amateur running events in the world, is held every
May in Spokane, a two-and-a-half-hour drive to the north. The Seattle to Portland
Bike Ride takes off every July.
If you like your fun closer to home, there is a 15-mile bike and running path that
links Sunnyside (ranked the 3rd safest city in the State of Washington, in 2019,
by the National Council for Home Safety and Security) to the neighboring towns of
Grandview and Prosser. Washington State University–Tri-Cities, Central Washington
University, Heritage University and Yakima Valley Community College are all viable
options for continuing education. There are excellent public and private schools
in Sunnyside and in other school districts nearby.
