What they say on facebook:

Dear Yakima Magazine, I had just gotten home from Starbucks with my favorite latte, grabbed my paper only to find my Yakima magazine. What a great Friday morning, curled up with my favorite coffee and magazine. Also, to my surprise: the wonderful article on “the best kept secret,” St. Johns Bakery! It has been a favorite place ever since my daughter moved to Portland. I never travel without stopping—even if I don’t need anything, I love seeing the sisters bustling around and to smell all the wonderful Greek food. It really is an amazing place. 58

AN HOUR FROM YAKIMA, tucked away under the trees just outside of Goldendale, is a land of milk and honey … and cinnamon and jam, and sweet Greek coﬀee. The St. John the Forerunner Greek Orthodox Monastery owns and operates this treasure, known to most as simply “the Greek Bakery.” For the past seven years, the Greek Bakery has been a favorite stop for those who appreciate genuine Greek pastries and gyros. I’ve stopped there myself, but more out of curiosity rather than love of all things Greek and edible. However, my most recent visit — taken with the purpose of learning enough about the bakery to write a little article — has turned me into a fan of their sweet delights. I will be back. The selection of goods available at the bakery has grown considerably over the past few years. What used to be just baklava and a few other treats has grown into a selection of gourmet candies, honeys and jams, a full menu of cookies and biscuits, and a freezer full of entrees and uncooked pastries. The store also carries natural soaps and lotions, candles, gift baskets and prayer ropes, all handmade by the nuns who live in the adjacent monastery.

Summertime and the livin’s easy IT’S SUMMERTIME IN THE YAKIMA VALLEY and with it comes that age-old conundrum: How to cram all that the valley has to offer into just a few short months. Between bike rides at the greenway, barbeque with the fam, camping on the weekends, lounging in the hammock, and (finally) finishing that book that’s been gathering dust—my summer agenda is filling up pretty quickly. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. In the Outdoors edition of Yakima magazine we celebrate summer: the season for warm temperatures and endless blue skies, fresh produce and lazy afternoons. And whether you plan to have your own downtown Yakima picnic, test out a new golf course or enjoy a martini outside during happy hour—we’ve got you covered. Between lemonade refills, be sure to stop by our website, yakimamagazine.com, to catch up on the latest from our bloggers, read web-exclusive content and find great seasonal recipes. And as always, send your story ideas, questions and comments to hcaro@yakimamagazine.com—we love to hear from you. So, get out there and enjoy the season Yakima— summer waits for no one.

Driving through the picturesque Lower Valley— perhaps on a wine tour—visitors might catch a glimpse of the towering river-stone arches and weeping sequoia trees that mark the entrance to Leland and Lynda Hyatt’s rural Zillah estate on Bonair Road. Built in 1997, the spacious, 5,000-square-foot house was designed by architect Greg McClure. The Hyatts admit, though, that the design was heavily influenced by their own inspiration and ideas gained from years of attending Yakima’s annual Tour of Homes. “We still go,” says Lynda as she describes the many updates they’ve made to the property over the years.

The Hyatts’ recently remodeled kitchen features all the perks: two islands, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Attention to such details as a built-in oak butcher block near the stainless steel prep sink allows for a functional workspace without sacrificing style. The open floor plan of the great room—ceilings reach 18 feet—is balanced by a rich color palette, hardwood flooring and overstuffed leather furnishings. Blurring the lines between indoors and out, a river-stone hearth crafted by local mason Bob Gosset is the commanding focal point of the room. The massive fireplace is embellished with a mantle fashioned from a rustic driftwood log.

The Howard Johnson Scoop LEFT: The towering river-stone archway welcomes you to the Hyatt estate. BELOW: The Hyatt home features a large kitchen and great room with a river-stone fireplace.

It’s all for Knot… Ask anyone who’s visited our hotel – the Cinnamon Knots are wonderful! Those sweet, buttery pastries are as unique to the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel as the man who makes them. Call it a labor of love, but Willie Harris has been churning out the dough year after year since he first learned the recipe in 1976. As a matter of fact, he has been the only one at the property to make the Cinnamon Knots. Today, we are proud to say that the Knots have become our identifying feature.

Willie has been satisfying our sweet tooth for over 30 years. Guests come from all over just to take a piece of happiness home with them, although they usually don’t make it out of the car! Give us a call the next time you have a sweet tooth--- we’d love to send some home with you!

In addition, the suite leads to a private deck where a hot tub awaits with relaxing views of acres of wine grapes adjacent to Hyatt Vineyards—which the couple has owned and operated since 1983—and the distant Rattlesnake Hills.

Custom furniture built by McClure and decorative pot shelves (an architectural detail spotted by the couple during vacations in Sedona, Ariz.) add personality. Throughout the home, signs of weekends spent with grandchildren are sweetly evident, from framed photos to a den filled with games and comfy pillows. The overall effect is an extraordinary home that is clearly comfortable in its own skin. It’s a place where entertaining and family are relished. And yet the Hyatts’ living space does not end at their doorway. Adding their own slant to the growing trend of “outdoor living,” the grounds of the estate are an extension of the home— and where you can find the couple on most days. Landscaping, including the addition of a bed of red roses—a favorite flower of Lynda’s—was done almost entirely by the couple. Details such as carefully placed boulders and gnarled timbers punctuate the terrain, each with a story easily recalled by the Hyatts. “I guess we’ve always been collectors,” laughs Lynda. “When our kids were little, we’d go out boating and drag driftwood home with us.” Custom river-stone works, crafted by Gosset, can be found throughout the Hyatts’ 46-acre property, from the grand arches at the entrance of the estate to the home’s foyer, a garden bench, barbecue and the most recent addition: a river-stone roundabout. The landscaped grounds of the Hyatt estate, which are an extension of the home.

Carson Hyatt enjoys an afternoon of fishing for bass and trout from one of the many ponds on his grandparent’s estate. Below: Windmills turn in the breeze.

In WestPark

Corner of 40th & Summitview, Suite 9 for the home 965–5397

Careful observers might notice the ubiquitous windmill design, a theme that’s echoed in each piece. Collecting the quixotic Hyatt trademark is a favorite hobby of Leland’s. The decorative windmills can be seen turning in the breeze at the Hyatt estates, the Hyatt Vineyard and within Gosset’s river-stone pieces. Multiple water features are also present on the acreage, including six ponds with names inspired by the couple’s grandchildren, each stocked with bass and trout. But what truly sets the landscape apart are the many cabins and outbuildings built to help complete the couple’s outdoor living space. On the banks of Tessa’s Pond, the largest of the six (which doubles as irrigation for the surrounding orchard),

a small fishing shack with an outdoor dining area is a popular family gathering place during warmer months. A typical summer meal may include steak and fresh corn grilled over apple wood— accompanied by a vintage from Hyatt Vineyards, of course. Carson’s Pond features a covered patio with a shaded sitting area for long afternoons of fishing. And, inspired from a trip to Yellowstone National Park, the Hyatts added a small log cabin near CaraLee’s Pond. The one-room cabin is large enough for a queen-sized bed, bunk beds and a small dining area, just right for camp outs with the grandkids. With its updated living spaces and al fresco garden hideaways, the Hyatt home is the perfect marriage of a love of nature and an affinity for creature comforts.

THOSE WHO HAVE DONE MORE staycation than vacation over the last couple of years may have missed the adventurous ecotourism trend of zip-lining. Showing up everywhere from cruise ships to rain forests, zip-line tours promise an exhilarating ride without leaving a big footprint on the landscape below. But you don’t have to travel to Cancun or Hawaii to enjoy the highaltitude perspective—Heritage Farms Canopy Tours in Washougal, Wash., is just a day trip away. After checking in and meeting the guides at Heritage Farms, thrill seekers are assisted into a five-point harness (similar to rock climbing gear) and clipped into a system of suspended steel cables. Zip-liners are then free to safely glide across picturesque landscape without causing damage to fragile ecosystems. Equipped with helmets and thick leather gloves, visitors to Heritage Farms are taught how to brake safely and—for more advanced zippers—how to flip upside down before moving on to more precarious heights. Should nerves overwhelm, guides are positioned at each platform to ensure safe landings.

Built in 2005 this single level home features 3BR, 2BA, vaulted ceilings and a great room concept design. You’ll cherish the privacy on the covered patio in the fenced backyard.

Looking out over a tranquil sea of treetops from a wooden platform balanced 80 feet in the air, adventurers might ask questions they never before dared to ask: What if the line breaks? Does my life insurance policy cover tree collision? And, what if I’m attacked by a hawk? But even those who are afraid of heights need not necessarily be excluded from joining in the fun, says Elizabeth Harrington Smith, 46, the manager and zip-line guide at Heritage Farms. “You’re only scared of what you see,” laughs Smith, who once counted herself in the acrophobic category. “Just keep your eyes on your hands until you walk off the platform.”

The ride is thrilling and takes from one to two hours, depending on the size of the group. Tours cost $50 per person with group discounts applied for six or more zip-liners. Be sure to call in advance, as reservations are required and age or weight restrictions might apply.

Visitors to Heritage Farms can bring a picnic lunch and dine on the spacious grounds, which include a deck with views of the Washougal River basin. But if your zip-line adventure inspires culinary exploration as well, there are other options close by. Here are two eateries that won’t disappoint. Tucked away in the Port of CamasWashougal Marina on a floating barge, The Puffin Café serves up Caribbean fare (such as homemade mango salsa, key lime pie and Barbados fish tacos), as ships dock in the bay beyond. Island flare flourishes at this waterside diner that is a favorite among locals. Dining is casual and often accompanied by music from the house steel-pan player.

With burgers so big they come held together with a steak knife instead of a toothpick, Jett Burger Café gets rave reviews from hungry local patrons. The furnishings are simple at the Hawaiianstyle diner, but what it lacks in ambiance the café makes up for with taste. Its slogan is “One bite and we gotcha,” and with a menu featuring homemade teriyaki sauce and fresh Hawaiian breakfasts (a hot plate piled high with rice, eggs, Hawaiian and Portuguese sausage), it’s easy to see why. Burgers are what the café is famous for—try the Maui Waui or the Crusher Burger—but be sure to come hungry.

WHEN CAROL AND JOHN BARANY bought their house above Franklin Park in 1982, they found it surrounded by an acre of lovely green lawn. About that time, national style mavens Martha Stewart and Laura Ashley started publishing their phenomenally popular home and garden books, filled with floral motifs and quaint country cottages that started a trend. “We all wanted to make our homes look like little England,” Carol explained. Coincidentally, Shirley Whiteside opened Yakima’s Loo Witt Gardens on Summitview Avenue at the same time, offering green thumbs a much wider range of perennials, English roses, shrubs and garden art to accomplish just that. Carol admits that when she started planting her garden, she had no plan and remembers starting with a six-pack of marigolds.

“Over the years, my garden has grown like an amoeba,” she joked as she gazed out at a sea of roses, poppies and delphiniums bursting with color in her backyard. “I just wanted more flowers, and I kept taking out more grass to make room for plants.” Her husband has not been idle while his wife toiled in her flower beds. Over the years, John has focused on their side yard, terracing and constructing a brick wall to allow for a vegetable garden and building an impressive grape arbor that drips with vines during the summer months. He also sculpted free-form plaster likenesses of his children’s faces on the front pillars of the home’s entry. An accomplished artist, John’s turned-wood pillars, with heads created by local artist Penn O. Shelton, add a whimsical touch to the overall look of the Baranys’ garden. July | August 2010

Joyce Sagare

Joyce and Tony Sagare moved into their home near Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital in 1969, also finding a lot of lawn, junipers and a variety of trees. “While I was teaching, my gardening consisted of pulling weeds, planting some petunias for color and raking leaves in the fall,” Joyce said. “After retiring in 1993, I became interested in gardening, adding some perennials here and there with some new shrubs and roses. I took a class on attracting birds, so birdbaths and new plants were added.” Today the Sagares’ backyard is an amazing and tranquil setting, completely hidden from the street side of the house. Their large deck gives a view to a terraced landscape and an ever-changing cottage garden that provides a variety of settings. “Throughout the backyard, garden rooms and sitting areas have evolved. Pathways have been added. I like to try new combinations of textures and colors in the beds,” Joyce said. 4 4 | YA K I M A M A G A Z I N E • y a k i m a m a g a z i n e . c o m

The couple installed a gazebo in 1998, and a primitive potting shed and bench in 2000. Enjoying a more rustic look, they’ve collected orchard tree props and wooden ladders to use as trellises. A variety of birdhouses make the backyard a wonderful spot to observe the wide variety of feathered friends native to Eastern Washington. Joyce lists Queen Elizabeth grandiflora roses, hostas, astilbes and hydrangeas as her floral favorites. Her favorite annuals include coleus and calibrochoa that, she says, feature great color, “and they thrive in our hot summers.” She feels her backyard sanctuary has microclimates of sun and shade, and has planted each area accordingly. “My garden is constantly changing, moving, adding, dividing and sharing,” she says. The result is a year-round retreat that takes complete advantage of Yakima’s four seasons.

WHEN JANE AND MONTE BERGHOFF moved to their Summitview Avenue home five years ago, the garden featured the basics: a natural wall of arborvitae, some wonderful large trees and broad lawns. Today, a sign announcing “Jane’s Garden” gives credit to the gardener who has combined her love of antiques with her passion for gardening. The result is a whimsical slice of country in the midst of the city. A collector of all things Americana, Jane has decorated her outdoor space with objects that elicit family memories. A vintage bicycle given to Jane for a childhood birthday has been transformed into a planter. The old

door from her fifth-grade classroom at Toppenish’s Lincoln Elementary School makes a rustic backdrop for a flower bed bordered by a collection of antique china plates. Her grandfather’s old farm plow and wheelbarrow rest under a 60-year-old broadleaf tree. The home’s shady patio houses Jane’s collection of vintage white wicker furniture—a perfect spot for sipping cool lemonade and eating gingersnap cookies in the shade of the hot summer sun. Jane’s clever eye for country garden design has gotten the attention of others, too: Her Americana Garden was featured in this year’s Yakima Area Arboretum Garden Tour. July | August 2010

If you’re planning on creating your own private outdoor retreat, these experts have a few tips: First, make a plan. Then consult the experts (plants, shrubs and trees are expensive). Finally, start small. All three of these cottage gardens have evolved over the years because of hard work, mistakes, fabulous successes and the most important ingredient: a passion for gardening.

eats!

Bright flavors await customers at the shaved ice stand at the Yakima Farmers’ Market.

Yakima’s Farmers Market on Yakima Avenue and Third Street has long been known as the place to find fresh, local fruit and vegetables for dinners at home, but it also offers a delicious array of food that’s ready-to-eat; in fact, it’s a veritable outdoor food plaza, with dishes like pad thai, lumpia and even the decadent and ever-so-French pain au chocolat beckoning hungry shoppers to stop and stay awhile. Visitors can follow their nose, grab a bite and find a nice place to sit and taste the flavor of the market right there on Third Street. For those with a sweet tooth (or kids in tow), try the shaved ice and Italian soda stand. With its rainbow variety of flavors, a cup of the sweetsmelling stuff hits the spot on one of Yakima’s sweltering summer days — something we finally have a lot of lately.

For early risers who want to get to the market when it opens at 9 a.m. and might not be ready for a heaping plate of lunch, wander to Essencia’s booth, just a hop, skip and a jump away from its storefront across Yakima Avenue. Essencia offers housemade pastries such as a blueberry custard croissant, ham and cheese croissant and a pain au chocolate (that’s a chocolate croissant) that are easy to eat while walking. They’re also delicious, with buttery, delicate layers of pastry enveloping something equally as tasty. The layers are so delicate that they can be a little flaky, but don’t worry — it’s worth it.

CLOCKWISE FROM RIGHT: Pork barbecue stays warm on the grill as people walk past. • Pancit, a Filipino noodle dish, stands waiting to be served. • Egg rolls, known as lumpia, stand in a warming dish. All from Lutong Pinoy’s booth.

Lucy Dominguez’s booth offers tamales, corn on the cob and gorgeous, gigantic containers of fruit juice, including their tantalizing Horchata, or rice water. Dominguez says there are a scant three ingredients in this refreshing concoction: rice, milk and cinnamon. The result is sweet but not cloying and absolutely delicious. Lutong Pinoy is a Wapato-based Filipino restaurant that operates a stand at the Farmers Market. Owner Marieta Batarao cooks up Filipino favorites, including the popular lumpia (egg rolls) and pork BBQ, but don’t miss the pancit, a noodle dish using yaki soba, rice noodles, chicken, red and green bell peppers, cabbage, celery and carrots.

They’re Pretty and You Can Eat thEm Too

July and August are months of lush abundance in the Yakima Valley, when gardens explode not only with extraordinary produce, but with extravagant flowers. For centuries and across many cultures, flowers have provided not only a feast for the eyes, but for the palate as well. Many flowers are edible and can make a beautiful and delicious addition to recipes. But before you head into the garden and pick a bunch of blooms to add to tonight’s dinner menu, it’s important that you know precisely what you are eating. Photos of food bedazzled by blooms entice readers from the pages of cookbooks and magazines, but just because that dish may be garnished with flowers does not mean that the garnishes are safe to eat. The widespread use of pesticides by commercial growers is a reality, making it essential that cooks obtain flowers from a dependable, food-safe source. Never eat flowers from a florist or

July | August 2010

gathered from the side of the road. Better to use those flowers from your own garden, so you know they are completely safe. Roses, nasturtiums, pansies, violets and lavender are flowers that can be used easily and are good choices for the flower-as-food novice. Not only do they make gorgeous garnishes, but thyme, oregano, sage and chive flowers have a milder taste than their leaves and can safely be used as you would the herb. If you are choosing homegrown flowers to eat, remember that many can potentially cause gastric distress and some are outright dangerous. Always consult a list of poisonous plants before you even consider eating a particular flower, and never use floral preservatives with edibles. Pick freshly opened and perfectly formed flowers from your garden in the morning or late afternoon, when the water content is high and flavors and essential oils are at their peak. Remove the pistils and stamens—the

If this is the case, you may want to avoid eating flowers altogether, or do so very cautiously in small quantities, to be absolutely sure you will not have a dangerous reaction. Continue your preparations by washing the flowers thoroughly in cool water, followed by a revitalizing 30- to 60-second plunge in an ice water bath. Drain on paper towels and then carefully remove the petals or other parts to be eaten. In some flowers, such as roses, you may decide to scissor away the whitish part of the petal where it connects to the stem, since it can add bitterness. You can store the flowers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, but try to serve them just as fresh as possible.

HAPPY HOUR

TEXT BY HEATHER CARO PHOTOS BY ROBIN BECKETT & CAL BLETHEN

C’mon Get Happy

WE LOVE A GIRL WHO PUTS A LITTLE CONSIDERATION INTO HER MARTINI.

THAT’S WHY, WHEN READER ANGELA WENTZ ASKED US for help finding great outdoor happy hours in Yakima, we couldn’t turn her away. She had a serious list of criteria: super friendly service, a nice outdoor seating area, and, of course, terrific happy hour specials. Said Angela, “Everyone knows that if you can get a discount it makes the fare that much better.” We had our work cut out for us, but to make it easier, we enlisted Angela to help. And many happy hours of research later, we developed a list of a few sunny spots we think are worthy of even more investigation.

Angela says, “The bartenders are friendly, and with the eclectic sampling of appetizers, it’s hard to pick just one.”

Second Street Grill

There’s something so ... urban about sitting outside the gargantuan “garage” doors at Second Street and enjoying a cocktail after work with your friends right in downtown Yakima. You’ll have to leave work a little early for appetizer specials, but that doesn’t sound like such a bad idea. Happy Hour Sunday through Saturday, 3-5 p.m. for appetizer specials, 3-6 p.m. for drink specials.
