Summer Concert Series brings ‘picnic vibe’ to music
I
t gets hot in Yakima in the summertime; there really is no beating the heat, but you can at least find some shade at Franklin Park during the annual city-sponsored Summer Sunset Concert Series. It’s the perfect way to spend a lazy summer evening in Yakima. “I think a lot of it is just the atmosphere,” said Dan Craig, who books bands for the series. “What I hear from people is they just dig the laid-back vibe to it. It’s like a picnic vibe.” The bands aren’t so bad, either. The six concerts, beginning July 8 with Tracy Spring and Larry Murante, include a wide array of local and regional favorites playing all sorts of music. In addition to Spring, there’s the July 14 concert by Gentlemen Wild, a bluesy classic rock band; a July 21 show by The McClellans, a local act celebrating 100 years of the American songbook; a July 28 concert by the School of Rock All-Stars; an Aug. 4 show featuring folk-music rene-
gade Barton Carroll along with up-and-coming local act Dimestore Mystery; and an Aug. 11 show with Seattle’s favorite rockabilly group, The Dusty 45s. All of them start at 6:30 p.m., when the heat still hangs heavily over the Yakima Valley, and end at 8:30 p.m. with everyone feeling much more comfortable. The concerts are free, but you will probably want to bring a blanket to sit on. And feel free to bring the kids. The environment is family friendly. Plus, the Allied Arts ArtsVan will be on hand, offering free arts and crafts activities for kids. Aside from those concerts, the Yakima Community Band has a full schedule of park gigs this summer. The band plays Randall Park in Yakima July 6, 13, 20 and 27 and Aug. 3 and 10. And it plays Railroad Park in Toppenish on July 14 and Aug. 11, Wixson Park in Selah on July 21 and Aug. 4.

entertainment/arts YAKIMA FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL — The name is a bit of a misnomer — the more than 60 artists that will play at the annual festival represent a wide variety of genres including country, bluegrass and rock ‘n roll.

The Yakima Valley is home to some of the most interesting collections of art in the region
I
f you’re interested in art — making it or just appreciating it — there’s probably something happening for you in the Yakima Valley this summer. The three main venues in Yakima are the Larson Gallery on the campus of Yakima Valley Community College, Allied Arts at 5000 W. Lincoln Ave., and the Yakima Valley Museum at 2105 Tieton Drive. The Larson is primarily a professional non-profit gallery exhibiting working artists, but during the summer it’s also home to a workshop series that this year includes painting, jewelry making and papermaking lessons from top local artists. In terms of exhibits, the big one for June and July at the Larson is the annual Larson Gallery Members Arts and Crafts Exhibition, which begins with a 5 p.m. reception June 17 and will be on display until July 15. For information on those workshops and exhibits, visit www.larsongallery.org. Allied Arts is more of a community organization designed to foster arts opportunities, but it’s also a gallery that exhibits professional work. Its popular summer arts classes and camps allow kids to learn from real artists. And its 44th-annual Juried Art Exhibit, which runs 10
from June 23 to Aug. 7, is among the biggest art events in the Yakima Valley. For information on those offerings, visit www.alliedarts.org. The Yakima Valley Museum is a combination art and history museum. Unlike Allied Arts or the Larson Gallery, it does charge admission, $5 for adults, $3 for children. In addition to the permanent exhibits, the museum will display “Head Over Heels Over Heels” through the end of this year. The exhibit, featuring more than 500 pairs of shoes from local collector David Childs, traces the evolution and art of high-fashion footwear from the 1920s to present. The museum also features a working 1950s-style soda fountain, complete with malts, shakes and sundaes. Admission to the soda fountain is free. For information on the museum’s offerings, visit www. yakimavalleymuseum.org. There are occasional art offerings in the Lower Yakima Valley, but aside from Yakima, the best place for art in Central Washington is Ellensburg. Options there include Gallery One at 408 N. Pearl St., the Sarah Spurgeon Gallery on the Central Washington University campus, and the Clymer Museum of Art at 416 N. Pearl St.

Although most of the festival is staged across town at Franklin Park, concerts are showcased on Friday and Saturday night at various downtown hot spots like the Sports Center, Bob’s Keg & Cork, Santiago’s, Kana Winery and North Town Coffeehouse. Throughout the summer, downtown plays host every Sunday to the Yakima Farmers Market, in front of the majestic Capitol Theatre at 19 S. Third St.

Editor’s picks From Italian to Mexican to good old-fashioned hamburger joints, there are plenty of great restaurants in the Yakima Valley. These 10 restaurants are just the tip of the iceberg, but would certainly be a good place to start. (In alphabetical order, numbers correspond to photos)
1. Antojitos Mexicanos 3512 Summitview Ave., Yakima
This former west Yakima Dairy Queen is now home to one of the most popular Mexican restaurants in the Yakima Valley — on any given night, most tables are occupied with hungry diners. And with the bright colors on the walls and in the different varieties of salsa offered during every meal, it’s hard to feel sad after a visit here. Popular items include pollo al carbon (grilled chicken) and pambazo, a toasted sandwich of bean spread, shredded meat, cabbage and a red sauce. With most items costing less than $15 with tax, the restaurant is also a bargain. Tortilla chips cost extra, but you probably won’t have room anyway. Open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. 509-248-2626.

7. Taj Palace 2710 West Nob Hill Blvd., Yakima
Affordable and unpretentious, Taj Palace is run by husbandand-wife team Paul and Jaswinder “Jessie” Randhawa. For the past three years, the pair have delighted patrons’ tastebuds with a wide variety of authentic Indian delicacies. Chicken, lamb, shrimp and vegetarian options are available, but demand for the restaurant’s chicken makhnwala (butter chicken) is unsurpassed. Prices range from $10 to $15 for lunch and dinner. Open Sunday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with a lunch buffet offered from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. 509-494-1001.
8. Tony’s Steakhouse
7
221 West Yakima Ave., Yakima
As its name suggests, Tony’s Steakhouse is known for its made-to-order steaks. Flame grilled, the tender cuts of meat are topped with such sauces as gorgonzola cream and fortified veal jus. Other menu selections include calamari, American Kobe beef and rack of lamb with cilantro pesto. The fine-dining restaurant opened three years ago. Prices average $10 to $15 for lunch and $20 to $40 for dinner. Open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday for lunch and 5 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday for dinner. 509-853-1010, www.tonysteakhouse.com.
9. Valley Cafe 105 W. Third Ave., Ellensburg
8
The Ellensburg dining institution dates back to the 1930s. While the restaurant still maintains its 1930s Art Deco style, the restaurant has changed with the times. One of the cafe’s biggest draws is its wine selection — it offers more than 250 different wines, primarily from the Pacific Northwest. The menu changes seasonally and is driven by local and regional offerings, such as salmon. While the restaurant prides on offering the finest food in the area, it tries to keep prices within reason — entrees range from $6.95 for a child-size pasta dish — yes, adults can order it — to $26.95. Open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The restaurant is closed between 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. 509-925-3050, www.valleycafeellensburg. com.
10. Yellow Church Cafe
9
111 S. Pearl St., Ellensburg
The restaurant, a former church building, offers items such as St. Benedict’s Eggs, an eggs benedict item with a hint of curry, and Heavenly Loaf, a garlic-cheese bread, that pay homage to fond church memories of owners Cat and Gordy Wollen, who are both preacher’s kids. But with a wide wine selection, heavy use of local and regional ingredients and nearly everything made from scratch, this place is definitely a step up from the old-fashioned church potluck. Expect to pay $15 to $25 for dinner and $10 to $15 for breakfast and lunch. Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 509-933-2233, www.yellowchurchcafe.com.

There, you can pick cherries straight from the tree and line your baskets with heirloom tomatoes, succulent peaches and fingerling potatoes — all at rock-bottom prices. Some vendors accept checks and debit/credit cards, but to be safe, carry cash. At the U-pick farms, you should also bring your own containers and wear close-toed shoes.

From mountains to rivers to trails, you can

ou can’t float through the Yakima River Canyon every day. You’ve got to branch out and try other things. Here are a few popular choices:
White-water rafting The state’s most popular rafting destination is the Wenatchee River, with the classic Leavenworth-toCashmere run typically at raftable levels from May into (and sometimes through) July. It can be a zoo, though, with 100 rafts sometimes crowding the river on a busy Saturday in June. For a path less traveled, 28
you might drive down to western Klickitat County and run the White Salmon or head north for a trip down the Methow; those two may be the state’s most beautiful (and thrilling) rafting rivers, and they’re not nearly as crowded.
Climbing Rock jocks have plenty of choices within an hour-or-two drive. Closest to home are the cliffs overlooking the Tieton River; the Royal Columns are probably the biggest draws, but there’s also the Bend (about a mile further west along Highway 12), Moon Rocks, Tieton Wall and the crags at Windy Point. Continuing further west to

Rimrock, climbers can follow multi-pitch routes up Goose Egg Mountain or opt to follow the winding Wildcat Road north from 12 to Wildcat Wall. Further from home in the other direction is the ultra-popular Frenchman Coulee, across the Columbia River from Vantage.
Hiking Your options are limited only by your imagination, or perhaps your willingness to sweat. Looking for lowland, early-season hikes? Try Cowiche Canyon, the Tieton Nature Trail (across from the Oak Creek Wildlife Area headquarters), the Umtanum Creek Trail (heading
west across the river from the Yakima River Canyon) or — provided you’ve got the legs and the conditioning for it — the Yakima Rim Skyline Trail, from which you’ll be looking down on the Yakima River Canyon. Once the snow melts in the high country, of course, your trail-hiking possibilities are endless.
Running Want to run on pavement without cars? Try the Yakima Greenway. Want to run on grass, and throw in a steep little rolling hill just to work up a little oxygen debt? Try Franklin Park. Otherwise, just head outdoors and start your legs

load find it here moving. You can’t go wrong. Don’t want to run alone? Join the Hard Core Runners, a local running club formed in 1977.
Mount Rainier There are reasons the Mount Rainier National Park annually attracts nearly 2 million visitors — incredible views, climbing, hiking, the opportunity to see wild animals, the awe-inspiring majesty of the mountain itself and, of course, a chance to camp in some of the most beautiful settings imaginable. Ohanapecosh, Sunrise, Paradise ... the list goes on and on.
Clouds swirl around the peak of Mount Rainier, which is visible from Chinook Pass. SARA GETTYS/Yakima Herald-Republic file

Rafters make their way down the Yakima River Canyon. GORDON KING/Yakima Herald-Republic file
Keep safety in mind while floating the river
T
he hot Yakima sun. The cool Yakima River. It’s been a fitting combination for gen-
erations. Floating the river has become a summer tradition ‘round these parts. But if you’re going to rent a raft, relax and drift downstream, there are a couple of precautions you should take. The two biggest: Wear a lifejacket. And don’t drink. Alcohol and other drugs don’t mix with water, even if that waterway is a mild Class I float. A safe stretch of the Yakima River — and one of the most popular — runs from the Umtanum Creek Recreation Area down to
the Roza Recreation site. For a longer run — about 31/2 to 4 hours — put in at the Ringer Boat Launch off Ringer Loop Road off Canyon Road, about nine miles up from Umtanum, and drift all the way down to the Roza. But, cautions deputy Nate Foster with marine patrol unit of the Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office, “Anything west of Ringer is extremely dangerous. About 90 percent of our rescues occur in that stretch above Ringer.” He also advises floaters to stay in the middle of the river to avoid tree trunks and branches. “It’s pretty leisurely as long as they don’t go above the Ringer Boat Launch,” Foster says. And,
“If they stay in the middle of the river, generally we don’t have too many problems.” But be sure to buy a vehicleuse permit. Permits — available anywhere hunting and fishing licenses are sold — are required to park on lands under the control of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. Bureau of Land Management also requires on-site fee. And, don’t forget the sunscreen!

• For information on river conditions in the Yakima River Canyon, call the Kittitas County Sheriff ’s Office and ask for the marine patrol unit at 509-962-7525.

I
f your idea of a good time usually involves two-wheeled travel of the self-propelled kind, you’ll find lots of company out there. Among the popular possibilities:
Road cycling The largest of Yakima’s two ultraactive clubs are Mount Adams Cycling, with roughly 125 members. About half of them are active in the group’s regular rides, including the weekly 24-mile Wednesday evening loop ride from Yakima to Naches and back. The other primary club is Chinook Cycling, historically a racing club that’s now more of a recreational group with some 60 members and anywhere from 10 to 25 participants on one of their regular rides. If you’re a newcomer, a good way to start is Mellow Monday, a weekly ride of about 15 miles for beginners that starts at 5:30 p.m. at Wide Hollow Elementary (Nob Hill and 72nd).
Mountain biking There’s at least 60 regular hardcore mountain bikers in the Yakima area and dozens more who are perhaps a tad less avid, but they tend not to go out in larger groups. Each rider has his or her own favorites, but if you’re just finding your trail legs, good places to start include Cowiche Canyon’s trail system and the White Pass Ski Area’s crosscountry circuit on the north side of Highway 12. If you’ve got the background to do the uphill climb before the nice “gravity” return, check out the Little Bald Trail (961) that takes off from the Halfway Flat Campground.

Mountain biking is popular on the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy lands in West Yakima. GORDON KING/Yakima Herald-Republic file
Go West ... for fun Hiking, biking, rodeo and more past 40th Avenue
Y
akima’s West Valley neighborhood offers a combination of town and country. Cowiche Canyon, north of Summitview Road, has a couple of easily accessible trails for hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
It’s a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts — and it’s much closer than the mountains (which really don’t take long to get to, either). The Canyon Trail stretches nearly 3 miles through native plants and outcroppings, and the mile-long Uplands Trails offers views of the valley, with a trailhead at Scenic
Drive. On the way, stock up with fresh fruit from Johnson Orchards on Summitview Avenue or Barrett Orchards on Pecks Canyon Road, which hosts an annual Cherry Days Festival in July. The event features pit-spitting and pie-eating contests, hay rides and — of course
2011
— U-pick cherries. In August, there’s the West Valley Fair with all kinds of animals — some for sale, some for show — off Ahtanum Road on South Wiley Road.

Year round, Gilbert and Randall parks provide outdoor enjoyment — from labyrinth walking at the former to a duck pond at the latter. Glenwood Square, a converted fruit warehouse on Tieton Drive, houses some retail and restaurants, including Zesta Cucina and Bert’s Pub — featuring burgers, beers and a popular trivia night — in the basement. In addition to its food, the restaurant at Apple Tree Resort offers sweeping views of the valley. There’s lodging and golf, too — including the signature Apple Island Green, the apple-shaped, par-3 17th hole.

llensburg is a relatively small town, population 17,409, centrally located in the heart of Washington in the Kittitas Valley. Its smallbut-beautiful, historic downtown makes the visitor want to cozy up with a mug of coffee while its view of the Cascades simultaneously
entices one to just get up and go. Of course the town is best known for Central Washington University and for its nationally famous rodeo, being held Sept. 2 to Sept. 5 this year. Not to be outdone by the rodeo is the Parade of Dachshunds, which is exactly what it sounds like, on June 18. But that’s just the tip of the ice-

berg. Ellensburg brands itself a recreational paradise, with fly-fishing, hiking, biking, river rafting and golf among the many options available to get out and soak up the warmer weather. Its historic downtown offers art galleries, wine shops, restaurants, boutique stores and enough coffee
shops to keep you wired into the evening, when one can take advantage of the bars and venues. A good place to do both is Raw Space, an all-ages venue that’s half performance hall and half cafe. Raw Space brings in quality acts from around the region and features the work of local artists.

Gilbert Cellars 5 N. Front St., Yakima www.gilbertcellars.com 509-249-9049
Gilbert Cellars has only been making wine since 2004. But a string of high-scoring vintages, coupled with the 2008 opening of its downtown Yakima tasting room, has earned it a place among the flagship wineries in the Yakima Valley. The tasting room, in the heart of the city’s historic district, combines an elegant setting with top-notch wines and gourmet small plates. There is often live music on the weekends, including shows in the tasting room’s basement lounge.

Desert Wind Winery
Don’t be intimidated; it’s all about learning
I
’ll admit it; I was intimidated about wine tasting and, maybe even more than that, I just thought it would be boring. I pictured a bunch of guys in turtlenecks and blazers, swirling wine around their glasses before making some pompous pronouncement or other. Ugh. No thanks. But one day I finally caved in and went with a group of friends. And you know what? Wine tasting is great. You drive all over the most beautiful parts of the Yakima Valley, stopping in at all these vastly different wineries and drinking free tastes of wine. I’ve sipped a bottle with a picnic lunch at Windy Point 40
Vineyards on a hill high above Wapato. I’ve played with the winery dogs at Two Mountain Winery in Zillah. I’ve sat at Gilbert Cellars in Yakima and watched the world go by on a lazy weekend afternoon. That’s what wine tasting is. Sure, there are people who take it seriously, and sure they sometimes wear that turtleneck-blazer combo, but I’ve never once felt out of my depth

or intimidated. Or bored, for that matter. And the staff at local wineries doesn’t expect you to be an expert. You don’t have to fake connoisseurship or pretend you do this all the time. Nobody’s there to see you show off, anyway. So just take a genuine interest, ask any questions you have and take the opportunity to learn a little something about wine. So now that I’m on board with wine tasting, my only real problem is that I usually bring home more wine than I set out to. Considering I eventually end up sharing all that wine with friends, that’s probably not much of a problem at all.
2258 Wine Country Road, Prosser www.desertwindwinery.com 509-786-7277
Set on a bluff overlooking the Yakima River, Desert Wind Winery is one of the most scenic of all the Yakima Valley wineries. The adobe-style building, which houses a restaurant and guest rooms as well as the tasting room, offers striking views of the surrounding hills. And the wine? Yeah, that’s good too. Most of the bottles are $20 or less, which is an exceptional value for wines of Desert Wind’s caliber. The Ruah, a Bordeaux-style blend, is particularly noteworthy.
Silverlake Winery 1500 Vintage Road, Zillah www.silverlakewinery.com 509-829-6235
The large-scale production of a place like Silverlake Winery in Zillah turns some people off. But what the boutique-bottling-only crowd overlooks is that the volume of wine Silverlake produces allows it to consistently offer highly rated, quality products for prices that smaller producers could never match. Bottles of red start well under $20. Besides all that, Silverlake is just a great place to visit, with a spectacular hilltop view of the valley and regular weekend barbecues during the summer.

Kana Winery 10 S. Second St., Yakima www.kanawinery.com 509-453-6611
One of only a handful of tasting rooms in Yakima proper, Kana Winery has a plum spot on the ground floor of the iconic downtown Larsen Building. The patio is perfect for sipping a glass of syrah while doing a little people-watching. And the wine is good, too. Kana’s flagship white wine, Masterpiece, and its flagship red, Dark Star, both earn high ratings from the pros. But the winery’s Old Vines lemberger is perhaps its best offering.
Bonair Winery 500 S. Bonair Road, Zillah www.bonairwinery.com 509-829-6027
Bonair Winery in Zillah got its start in 1985, making it part of the Yakima Valley’s old guard. And, despite a new tasting chateau built a couple of years ago, it retains the quirky, salt-of-the-earth philosophy with which co-owners Gail and Shirley Puryear started it. The duck pond helps, as does the varied lineup of wines including an award winning buttery chardonnay and a dessert-in-a-glass ice wine. There’s variety, too, in the reds with offerings such as malbec and pinot noir alongside the more standard (for Washington) merlots and cabernets.

Wine tasting: What you need to know
T
he key to wine tasting in the Yakima Valley is simple: If you don’t know what to do, ask. All you have to do is show up; the people in the local industry are more than happy to guide you through the process. That said, there are a few basic things that it helps to know right up front. • More and more wineries are charging tasting fees. It’s usually $5, and it’s usually refunded with purchase of a bottle. If you’re dead-set against paying tasting fees, check www.wineyakimavalley.org or www.rattlesnakehills. com for details on specific wineries. Or just call before you go. There are plenty of free tastings left. • Those little sips add up. Let’s say you plan to visit four or five wineries in an afternoon. If you taste several wines at each stop you’re probably going to start to
feel it. Keep that in mind. Also, it is not at all improper to spit rather than swallow; many wineries have “spit buckets” right there on the counter. • Don’t feel as though you have to buy a bottle everywhere you stop, particularly if there’s a tasting fee. But don’t set out to taste all day unless you’re considering buying. The wineries ought not to pressure you, but your part of the deal is to act in good faith and not just take advantage of the samples. • Designate a driver or arrange for transportation. There are plenty of local cab and wine-tour services that will do the driving for you. Two wine groups — www.wineyakimavalley.org and www.rattlesnakehills.com — are good sources for information on that. Or just pop open the phone book.

Kestrel Vintners 2890 Lee Road, Prosser www.kestrelwines.com 509-786-2675
Prosser’s Kestrel Vintners is probably best known for its Lady in Red series, which has become a must-have for collectors just because of the elegantly sexy pin-up-style paintings on the bottles. What’s in the bottle ain’t half bad, either. At $12 per bottle, the Lady in Red blend is a special occasion wine you can afford to drink every day. But the real treasures at Kestrel are the premium bottlings. They cost more — up to $60 — but they are invariably worth it. Kestrel has plenty of selections in between those prices, too, including full lineups of both red and white varietals.

Upcoming Events: July 18TH-31ST 2011 Wine Yakima Valley Summer Promotion
Come try fresh local produce paired with our wines.
Here’s why you stop at Yakima River Winery in Prosser: It has been there since 1977 and owner John Rauner has seen it all. Rauner, who claims to have produced Washington state’s first port, merlot and lemberger, will pour your wine and tell you some stories. The tasting room itself is modest. It’s not part of the new wine “scene” in Prosser, but the wines are usually pretty good. And there’s real history there, as well as good conversation.

Toppenish/zillah/Wapato Horizon’s Edge Winery 4530 E. Zillah Drive, Zillah www.horizonsedgewinery.com 509-829-6401
While Yakima Valley wineries are known for being unpretentious, there are certainly some that are stuffier than others. Horizon’s Edge, on the other hand, is one where you never have to worry about wine snobs. There’s a fun vibe, right down to the kitschy-chic wine labels. It’s hard to be too pretentious when you’re drinking Foreplay Chardonnay or Moneymaker Merlot. Also, for those who enjoy sweeter sips, Horizon’s Edge has a chocolate port unlike anything else you’ll taste around here.
Artists gather in Toppenish each summer for the city’s Mural-In-a-Day tradition.
Two Mountain Winery 2151 Cheyne Road, Zillah www.twomountainwinery.com 509-829-3900
JEFF HALLER/Yakima Herald-Republic file
Matt and Pat Rawn are the owners and operators over at Two Mountain Winery in Zillah, but the place really belongs to the dogs. There are four of them, and they must be the envy of dogs nationwide, because all they do all day is lay around and let tasting-room visitors pet them. That’s part of the laidback environment Two Mountain has created. It’s about wine, sure, but it’s also about fun. There are outdoor movies in August and September, plenty of bottles at or under $20 and an atmosphere of relaxation.
Willow Crest Winery 590 Merlot Drive, Prosser www.willowcrestwinery.com 509-786-7999
By the time Dave Minick founded Willow Crest Winery in 1995, he had already been a grape grower for more than a decade. His expertise in the vineyard transferred seamlessly to barrels and bottles, making Willow Crest one of the leading wineries in Prosser. You’ll find great value wines there ($10 for a pinot gris, $8 for a riesling) and some just plain great wines. The most expensive Willow Crest offering is the remarkable Rhonestyle blend XIII. And even that is only $24, a bargain for a wine of that caliber.
History of the West still lives I
f you like western heritage, Native American culture and fresh produce you can pick yourself, then you may want to drop into the Lower Valley towns of Toppenish, Zillah and Wapato. Diversity is what defines these towns, from the wineries that surround Zillah to the Yakama Nation that overlays Toppenish and Wapato.
Toppenish Here, you can view nearly 70 murals depicting the town’s settlement and culture from a horse-drawn wagon. Dubbed “Where the West Still Lives,” the city of more than 9,000 residents is on the Yakama Reservation and its historic downtown is lined with buildings dating back to the turn of the century that are dressed in a western theme of wood awnings and old street lamps. The American Hop Museum at 22 S. B St. chronicles the area’s history of hop production. Just west of town along Fort Road is the Yakama Nation Cultural Center and Museum, where you
can learn about the traditional Native American culture. Both are worth dropping into.
Zillah This community of nearly 3,000 people is surrounded by vineyards and is flanked by two fruit warehouses. And if you like fresh herbs, organically grown vegetables and berries, it may be worth a visit to Bella Terra Gardens at 660 Bella Terra Road where you can buy produce in a historic barn — or you can pick your own. You may also want to look at the famous Teapot Dome filling station just west of town on the Yakima Valley Highway. It was built in the shape of a teapot in 1922 as a symbol of scandals that rocked the presidency of Warren G. Harding over his order to transfer oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyo., and Elk Hills, Calif., from the Navy to the Department of Interior. It’s on the National Register of Historic Places.

Toppenish/zillah/Wapato Wapato This rural city of about 4,550 residents is also on the Yakama Reservation and the town comes alive in the fall with a harvest festival where a barbecue, complete with corn on the cob, and a parade fill downtown. Then in October, a tamale festival includes street dancing, live entertainment and, of course, a tamale cook-off. Cultural diversity is also celebrated. In March, a local JapaneseAmerican group in town holds an annual sukiyaki dinner and visitors can peer into the Buddhist temple at 212 W. Second St. Just across the street in late March, a Filipino-American group holds its annual Barrio Fiesta dinner.

T
raveling back in history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; way back â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or enjoying quite contemporary experiences â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all here in Union Gap. For starters, shopping is a popular draw in the city, home of one of Central Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest retail centers, the Valley Mall. Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Sears and Kohlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anchor the mall, flanked by Borders Books, Old Navy, Pier One Imports and more than 80 specialty stores. As for outdoor activities, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Old Town Days celebration every June (this year June 18-19 at Ahtanum Youth Park) with family activities, food and craft vendors as well as entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Townâ&#x20AC;? refers to Union Gapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history as the original Yakima; the city was officially incorporated as Yakima in 1883. But when the railroad erected its depot some four miles north, much of the old city was literally pulled out from under it. More than 100 buildings were moved to the new city, which became Yakima, with the original renamed Union Gap. Speaking of history, the Central Washington Agriculture Museum preserves the agricultural

heritage of the Valley with its large collection of antique farm machines and tools. Interactive exhibits highlight this 19-acre, open-air museum at 4508 Main St. Central Washington Antique Farm Expo
(Aug. 20-21 this year) is the biggest of several special events that occur annually at the museum. Ongoing demonstrations are featured, plus homemade bread and ice cream. On the first Saturday in May, the Old Steel Car Club Car Show shows its metal at the museum. Other May events include the FFA Lawn Tractor Pull Competition at the museum and the American Historical Truck Society Show at Fullbright Park , a 30-acre span with creekside covered picnic facilities. Back to history, for those interested in poring over family lore, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the volume-loaded Yakima Valley Genealogical Society at 1901 S. 12th Ave. Another historic spot is the 1865 Pioneer Graveyard where many original settlers are buried. Ahtanum Youth Park offers more outdoor spaces, with picnic facilities, basketball courts, a BMX track, soccer fields, an equestrian arena and meeting hall.

Summertime do’s From spectator sports to swimming pools, there’s always something to do in the Yakima Valley
F
rom professional baseball to swimming to a leisurely walk along the Yakima Greenway, the Yakima Valley offers a lot of scenery and plenty to do during the summer months. Here are a few popular outings to get out and enjoy:
Yakima Bears The Yakima Bears play in the Northwest League and are a shortseason Class A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Their season consists of 76 games, 38 of which are played at Yakima County Stadium, and runs from June 17 to Sept. 3. The stadium, located at State Fair Park, seats 2,654 fans. Ticket prices are $9.50
for box seats, $8 for bleacher back seats, $6.50 for adult general admission and $5.50 for children 12 and younger (those 2 and under are admitted free), seniors 60 and older and fans with valid, unexpired military ID. For more information, call 509457-5151 or visit www.yakimabears. com.
Auto Racing Yakima Speedway and its historic half-mile oval opened its 75th year of stock-car auto racing this season and will culminate the Northwest’s competitive year with the 24th annual Fall Classic on Oct. 1-2. The Speedway hosts racing throughout the summer highlighted by a three-day show

over the Fourth of July weekend and its Open Wheel Extravaganza on Aug. 13. The Speedway is located at 1600 Pacific Ave. For more information, call 509-248-0647 or visit www. yakimaspeedway.us. Renegade Raceway in Wapato has staged drag racing for more than 40 years and has a season schedule that runs through October with the Washington State Championships. The Raceway is located at 1395 No. Track Road. For more information, call 509-877-4621 or visit www.renegaderaceway.com.
Golf Golf in the Yakima Valley is a wide-ranging experience, with options for players of all ages and skill levels. There are high-end public courses such as Apple Tree in Yakima and those at Suncadia Resort in Roslyn,
entertaining 18-hole layouts like SunTides in Yakima and Mount Adams and Black Rock Creek in the Lower Valley, and shorter executive-style layouts like Westwood West and River Ridge or Fisher Park’s par-3 offerings among the 15 public and private facilities in the region. A course fitting one’s mood on any given day is never too far away.
Swimming Can’t stand the heat? Is it simply time to learn how to swim? Recreational swimming as well as swim lessons are available throughout the Yakima Valley during the summer months. The Yakima Family YMCA, Yakima Athletic Club and parks and recreation departments offer facilities for a nominal fee from Ellensburg to Prosser. For more information, call your local pool for times and prices.

Fishing
Yakima Greenway
If pulling fish out of the water is your thing, you have a never-ending supply of well-stocked trout lakes to plunder in town or nearby, notably Myron Lake, the I-82 ponds, as well as the blue-ribbon catch-and-release fly fishing in the Yakima River Canyon. The lower Yakima is a prime destination for bass and walleye, while salmon anglers will stay busy on the mainstem Columbia and, from mid-May through June, in the Yakima River spring chinook fishery particularly between the Yakima’s confluence with the Naches River and closed waters just below the Roza Dam.
Whether you’re a bicyclist, a walker or runner, the Yakima Greenway might be a good fit. The Greenway stretches from Selah Gap to Union Gap, and west along the Naches River with more than 10 miles of paved pathways. Along the pathways, you will find connections to parks, river access landings, nature trails, fishing lakes and protected natural areas. The centerpiece of the Greenway is Sarg Hubbard Park. Events held on the Greenway each year include: Kids Fish-In (April), Gap2Gap (June) and Case of the Blues and All That Jazz (August). For more information, call 509-
453-8280 or visit www.yakimagreenway.org.
Boating and water skiing
• River Ridge Golf Course:
295 Golf Course Loop Road, Selah. 509-697-8323. Public, nine holes. • Sun Country Golf Resort:
Most boaters and water skiers head out to the Columbia River, typically entering at Vantage in Kittitas County. Those wishing to avoid the potentially rougher water of the big river can head further east to the Potholes Reservoir or, instead, head west to Cle Elum, Keechelus or Kachess lakes. Those reservoirs feed the Yakima River, which at certain times of the year becomes quite the destination for the jet-ski crowd.

There are countless camping options within easy driving distance of Yakima. SARA GETTYS/Yakima Herald-Republic file
WHER THE S E U SHINE N BRIGH S TER!
Sunnyside offers year round fun and recreation! Check out our upcoming events:
Set up camp Spending the night outdoors? You’ve got lots of options Looking to pitch a tent under the open skies? There are plenty of options here in the Yakima Valley. In addition to the conveniently located Sportsman State Park just across the Yakima River from Yakima, campers can opt for a few other favorites: • YAKIMA RIVER CANYON: The Bureau of Land Management’s four campgrounds in the Yakima River Canyon, nestled between the river and State Route 821 north of Selah, are enormously popular during the warmer months. Three of the four — Roza, Lmuma Creek and Umtanum — have just 18 campsites between them, so they tend to fill up quickly. Your best bet to find a vacant site is Big Pines, a 41-campsite area that used to be managed as dispersed camping by the Department of Natural Resources before a 2008 overhaul by the BLM. Campsite prices vary. All are first-come, first-served. Because campers can only stay for seven days, there’s always turnover. Best time to find a spot is early in 52
the week.
• NATIONAL FOREST: The Naches
Ranger District has 17 campgrounds totaling 338 campsites (plus some dispersed locations) on the Chinook Pass/S.R. 410 side; the White Pass/Highway 12 side has another 13 campgrounds with 194 campsites, as well as five dispersed camping areas featuring dozens of usable campsites. Those managed by the Forest Service are all firstcome, first-served. Those managed by Hoodoo Recreation, as well as all group sites, can be reserved through www.recreation.gov. Campsite prices vary. • AHTANUM: The Department of Natural Resources’ three Ahtanum State Forest campgrounds — Ahtanum, Clover Flats and Treephones — comprise 29 campsites, as well as overflow camping at the Ahtanum Sno-Park and dispersed camping at Barbecue Flats and Cascade Camp in the Wenas. It’s all first-come, first-served and, for now, DNR campsites are free.

otorists passing through Naches would do well to make sure they leave the confines of U.S. Highway 12 to complete their exploration of the area. Besides a downtown that features several small shops worth a stop, Naches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a town of about 800 residents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can also be considered something of a base camp for side jaunts to the Nile Valley and Chinook Pass, as well as the Highland suburbs of Cowiche and Tieton. Naches puts plenty of energy into its Sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days community fest, which runs from Sept. 9 to 11 this year. The event, billed as one of the longest-running of its type in

the Yakima Valley, includes a midway, sand carving, a parade and free entertainment. The neighboring Nile Valley Days, held each July, offers up a touch of what it might have been like to live in the region back in the day when timber was king. City residents can try at throwing an ax before, or after, they scarf down a piece of pie. Farther up U.S. Highway 12 and State Route 410 sit Rimrock Lake and Chinook Pass, popular both for outdoor recreation or a scenic round trip for dinner at Whistlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jack Lodge or one of the other restaurants along the route.

W
hether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiking, fishing, wildlife tours, a marathon, locally produced food or a summer of fastpitch softball and Little League, Selah is the place to be. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third largest city has a summer full of activities awaiting. The Wednesday market behind Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Row on South First Street near the civic center enters its second season this year and the city is planning an inaugural Fall Festival in September to wrap up the year. Jeff Hagler, city of Selah Parks, Recreation and Tourism office director, said the city opened the tourism office last year to provide a focal point to boost tourist visits to the city. A portion of the officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding comes from a lodging tax at the 54room North Park Lodge. Lisa Bertelsen, co-manager of the Wednesday Market, said the market will open June 15 and operate from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. each Wednesday through Sept. 28. Carlon Park, near Selah High School on Goodlander Road, will
host 12 summer weekend girls fastpitch tournaments. The park also will be the scene of weeknight girls fastpitch softball league games all summer. The former NCAA national champion Washington Huskies womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball team will be a major attraction for the new Selah Fall Festival, which begins a three-day run on Sept. 16. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team will play an exhibition game on Sept. 17, following a half marathon that morning. A farmers market will be located at Carlon Park during the weekend where food, crafts and other homemade items will be on display. Other activities are planned during the weekend. Selah also is the gateway to the scenic Yakima River canyon where visitors can hike, sightsee or fish. The community kicked off the summer of activities with the annual four-day Selah Community Days event that wrapped up May 22. For more information, call 509-698-7328 or visit www. ci.selah.wa.us.

Sunnyside
Museums, markets and moo Valley’s second largest town is home to a wide range of activities from history to dairies
A
barbed wire collection, an afternoon farmers market and cheese are just a few things to see in this city of almost 16,000. One of the newest is a growing farmers market. Hours are 4-7 p.m. Wednesday. Vendors set up shop in the parking lot of the Mini Mall, Sixth Street and Seventh Street. However, if you don’t see it there, check a few blocks south at Central Park, Edison Avenue and Fifth Street. The market, entering its fourth year, has been growing and farmers may move it to a more visible location. “We think it’s pretty stable and
going good,” said Bill Flower, the former Yakima County commissioner who coordinates the market. The market averages about seven vendors, virtually all of them organic farmers who do no wholesale business, Flower said. The Sunnyside Museum at Fourth Street and Grant Avenue is open 1-4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, starting May 19. Exhibits include wood carvings, story-board historic photos and a display of military uniforms and memorabilia from both World Wars. Among them are steel plated New Testaments, meant for servicemen to carry around in their breast pocket.
What are you waiting for? Rediscover your backyard!
The museum also has one of the largest barbed wire collections in the nation with 40 or 50 different varieties, said John Saras, museum president. Across the street is the cabin of Ben Snipes, the area’s first cattle tycoon, arguably the oldest structure in the Yakima Valley. For a glimpse of one of the area’s strongest economic engines, visit Dairy Fair, a visitors center with viewing room, gift shop and selfguided tour of the Darigold cheese plant on Alexander Road just south of town. Later in the summer, Sunnyside is a leader in activities revolving around National Night Out, the annual day of community
barbecues and gatherings to help push back against crime. Up to 40 neighborhoods throughout the city hold cookouts. It will be held Aug. 2, with a kids night on Aug. 3 that features live music, SWAT team demonstrations and s’mores at Central Park. Summer celebrations reach their peak on Sept. 17 with Sunshine Days, the city’s annual community festival that marks the city’s incorporation anniversary. It features a car show, parade and a carnival. For more information, call 800457-8089 or visit www.sunnysidechamber.com.
