WINERIES Yakima Valley Wineries Among The Very Best Wine grapes are really the new kid on the block as far as the Valley’s agriculture scene goes, but they’ve definitely made a big name in a short time.

The Valley’s history as a real wineproducing area only dates back about three decades. But in a relatively short time the local wine industry has come a long way. Today our 100-plus wineries and vineyards are one of the main attractions, drawing visitors from around the world.

To keep up with all the special events connected with Yakima Valley’s wineries, visit www.wineyakimavalley. com. New events — and even new wineries — seem to sprout up all the time.

There are several major wine-related events that you should know about. The summer season gets rolling with the Spring Barrel tasting event April 28-30, with most area wineries participating in this popular wine tasting activity.

The Rattlesnake Hills wine region has its own spring barrel event the

same weekend. The area’s 13 wineries are located around the Wapato and Zillah area. Learn more at www. rattlesnakehills.org.

Both these events offer a chance to get a jump on tasting and purchasing some of the best wines in Wine Country. A visit to the Valley on these weekends will allow you to sample yetunfinished wines from the barrel.

For the Spring Barrel Tasting you can purchase a Premier Pass that allows access to exclusive benefits available only during this special weekend.

Pass holders will be able to experience a variety of specialty food pairings, library tastings, and tours not available to the public.

Valley AVA. • Since 2004, the number of wineries located in the Yakima Valley grew from 47 to over 82 in 2009 — an increase of almost 75 percent in just five years.

• Nearly 15 percent of Washington state’s wineries are located in the Yakima Valley AVA. Helpful Wine Facts • One barrel of wine equals roughly 20 cases, which equals 1,200 glasses • A ton of grapes makes about 720 bottles of wine, or 60 cases.

• One vine annually produces between four and six bottles of wine, or between 20 and 30 glasses.

• Each bottle of wine contains about 2.8 pounds of grapes; therefore each 5-ounce glass of wine contains a little over half a pound of grapes.

• There are between 15 and 45 clusters of grapes per vine.

• One acre of land is home to between 726 and 1,300 vines.

‘Wine Dogs’ Welcome Tourists traveling with their pets often find themselves limited on places they can go. Often they wind up at a destination only to find out that their dogs aren’t welcome and must be left in

the car — which is never a good idea.

That’s why the Yakima valley Visitors & Convention Bureau launched a new website — winedoggies.com.

The site helps dogs and their owners by steering them to canine-friendly locations around the Yakima Valley — not only wineries, but also places to stay, eat, walk, shop and just about anything else a traveler might need to do.

The website lists many places where dogs are as welcome as their owners, along with any rules for pets. There’s even a section about the many dogs that live and work with their owners at Yakima Valley’s wineries.

Check it out to find the places where your dog will be welcomed like one of the family.

ART, WINES & SCENERY Maryhill Has Sights, Sounds Throughout The Year Just a short, scenic drive from the Yakima Valley you’ll find a winery and art museum perched on top of a hill overlooking the majestic Columbia River.

The area got its start in 1907, when millionaire lawyer Sam Hill purchased 5,300 acres to establish a farming community named after his wife, Mary. But her untimely death delayed his plans, though it was later built into Maryhill Museum.

In 1999, Craig and Vicki Leuthold established Maryhill Winery that sits just west of the museum. It produces over 80,000 cases yearly, making it the 10th largest winery in the state.

The tasting room, open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., where 29 different wines are available.

Or guests can go outside to a fireside table, an expanded deck or the grapevine-covered arbor. For more information, visit maryhillwinery.com In the summer the winery brings in big-name musical entertainers for outdoor concerts in its amphitheater.

Check the website for concert schedules.

On view are more than 80 works by the sculptor Auguste Rodin, European and American paintings, objets d’art from the palaces of the queen of Romania, Orthodox icons, unique chess sets, and the renowned Théâtre de la Mode, featuring small-scale mannequins attired in designer fashions of postWorld War II France.

Baskets of the indigenous people of North America area also on display.Today the museum’s Native American collection represents nearly every tradition and style in North America, with works of art from prehistoric through contemporary.

The Maryhill Arts Festival, a summertime tradition features live music, food vendors, and hands-on art activities for children and families in the Maryhill Art Tent both days 1-4 p.m.

Maryhill’s outdoor sculpture garden features work by Tom Herrera, Mel Katz, Heath Krieger, Alisa Looney, Jill Torberson, Julian Voss-Andreae, Jeff

Weitzel and Leon White. Four miles east of Maryhill is a life-sized replica of Stonehenge, Stonehenge Memorial, which Hill built to memorialize local men who perished in World War I. Nearby, the Klickitat County War Memorial honors those who have died in the service of their country since World War I. The museum was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. In 2001 the museum was listed as an official site of the National Historic Lewis and Clark Trail and in 2002 was accredited by the American Association of Museums.

WINE VARIETIES Your Guide To The Valley’s Wine Grapes

The Yakima Valley Appellation grows a number of varieties of grapes that find their way into the bottle for appreciative connoisseurs. The following is a guide to grapes and wine name pronunciations.

Merlot (mer-LOW) Yakima Valley Merlot is known for its sweet cherry, berry flavors and complex aromas that include plum, mint, cigar box, and sweet spices. Traditionally used in blends in much of Europe, Merlot gained popularity as a stand-alone wine in the USA in the early 1970s.

Cabernet Sauvignon (cab-air-NAY so-veen-YOWN) Its character can emerge as black currants, cherry, berry, chocolate,

leather, mint, herbs, bell pepper or any combination of these. This wine ages beautifully. Many of the Yakima Valley vintners employ traditional blending practices, adding Merlot or Cabernet Franc to the wine.

Syrah (sear-AH) Syrah is just one of the Rhône varieties sparking new interest in Washington State. A spicy, rich, complex varietal, Syrah grapes turn into big, dark, intensely concentrated wines with aromas and flavors of blackberries, black currants, roasted coffee and leather.

Cabernet Franc (cab-air-NAY FRAWNK) Cabernet Franc has been of primary value for the sturdy core and firm tannins it adds to softer wines. On its own, it offers delicious, spicy notes with mellow coffee and intense blueberry fruit.

Other Varieties

Riesling (REES-ling) The Valley’s Rieslings tend to be very floral in the nose, with vivid apricot-peach flavors. Most Washington Rieslings are created in an offdry to slightly sweet style, all balanced with typically good acidity.

Gewürztraminer (ge-VOORTZ-trame-nair) Gewürztraminer typically offers allspice as well as tropical fruit with zesty aromas and flavors. Previously made only in an off-dry or slightly sweet style.

Other Whites

Chenin Blanc (SHEN-nin BLAHNK) Lively fruit and mouth-watering acidity make this the perfect oyster wine.

Pinot Gris (PEE-no GREE) Produces soft wines with delicate varietal elements of melon and spice.

Viognier (vee-own-YAY) A richly textured wine with distinctive aromatic notes of peaches and honeysuckle.

The annual Central Washington State Fair in Yakima will open in late September for a 10-day run that will attract some 300,000 people for the unique food and fun.

The fair, located at State Fair Park in Yakima, has become the number one family entertainment event in all of Eastern Washington.

Started back in 1892, the fair has a deep heritage in showcasing the agricultural products of the fertile Central Washington region. In fact, it was named the original State Fair of Washington by the state Legislature during the 1900s.

And, as it has been for over 120 years, the fruits, vegetables and livestock grown in the region are all on display during the fair, creating quite an impressive group of exhibits in the

beautifully renovated historic buildings and 14 livestock barns.

But there is more to the fair than just the agricultural displays. Each year over 70 different food vendors present unique and yummy edibles to fairgoers.

For those looking for a unique item and a good deal, over

Enjoy all that the Yakima Valley has to offer!

We look forward to serving you!

PRODUCE Yakima Valley’s Farms Offer An Amazing Variety Early boosters promoted the Yakima area as The Nation’s Fruit Bowl — and they were right. But there’s more to the Valley’s farm scene than fruit.

Yakima County contains one of Washington state’s most diverse agricultural systems. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2007 Census, Yakima County is the No. 1 county in Washington based on market value of crop and livestock products.

Agriculture contributes a whopping $1.2 billion to our local economy.

Yakima County is the leading county in the nation in apple production with over 55,000 acres of apple orchards producing premier apple varieties like Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Honeycrisp as well as hundreds of antique apple varieties.

Yakima County is also the leading county in the nation in the production of hops. There are nearly 19,000 acres of hops planted on trellis systems. Hops are the essential ingredient in the world-renowned brews of the Pacific CERTIFIED ORGANIC PRODUCE

When traveling along Interstate 82 or Highway 223 through the Yakima Valley, you can’t miss Granger — just look for the dinosaurs.

These prehistoric creatures have pretty much taken over the rural community of about 3,000 people. They’re everywhere.

Why dinosaurs? Why not!

Neighboring cities were making their niche in the Valley with different themes.

Since mastodon tusks and teeth were found at the Granger clay pit in 1958, going prehistoric just seemed fitting.

The city’s public works department was given the challenge of producing something along a dinosaur theme.

In 1994, crew members created the first dinosaur, a baby brontosaurus. There are now about 30 dinosaurs around town.

The town holds a Dino-N-A-Day event in June at the Hisey “Dinosaur” Park on Main Street. Visitors are invited to help apply cement, and complimentary gloves are provided.

Other annual events include the Granger Cherry Festival, which began in 1948. It gets under way at the end of April. This year ‘s festival will be held Friday through Sunday, April 28-30 and features a carnival, entertainment, games and vendors. A parade Saturday morning is followed by a fishing derby for the kids on Sunday morning.

SUNNYSIDE Sunnyside Offers Options On Dry Side Of State Sunnyside is well known for its big dairies and as the headquarters for Darigold, but there is a lot more going on there than milk and cheese.

Did you know that NASA astronaut Bonnie J. Dunbar has her roots in the area? She graduated from Sunnyside High School in 1967.

Sunnyside also holds many annual events — including probably the nation’s most famous Christmas parade featuring lighted tractors — and is home to several wineries and Snipes Mountain Brewery.

Sunnyside is also famous for its Cinco de Mayo celebration every year, which includes a big parade.

Typically the city ropes off two blocks of the downtown area for food, clothing, arts and crafts and live entertainment.

Every December is also Sunnyside’s famous Lighted Farm

Implement Parade. The A&E network once named the event one of the “Top 10” such parades in the United States. The festive occasion was the first of its kind in the area, starting the tradition in 1989. The parade includes farm combines, boom trucks, sprayers, grape pickers, and all types of tractors decorated with many colorful lights. About 70 entries are expected each year for the parade, which always draws a huge crowd of 25,000 spectators and usually winds up being covered by some national TV network.

The Sunnyside area is also home to diverse wildlife at the Sunnyside-Snake River Wildlife Area. It is the perfect spot for hunters, bird watchers, hikers, horseback riders and school field trips. It includes 18 units that span over 20,000 acres in multiple counties.

The management headquarters are located near Sunnyside, a site made up of 2,800 acres of a collection of small agricultural fields, interspersed with diverse habitats.

Six ponds or lakes vary in size from 15 to 100 surface acres and the Yakima River runs through the area; evidence of old river oxbows can also be found throughout.

GRANDVIEW Grandview Celebrates Agricultural History Located about 40 miles south of Yakima, the city of Grandview has about 10,000 people living in a quiet, rural city that dates back to 1909. Offering glimpses of both Mount Rainier and Mount Adams, the city enjoys what struck the early settlers – a grand view.

Grandview offers seven city parks, a swimming pool, the 18-hole Black Rock Creek Golf Course, four public tennis courts, a large community center, a nine-hole regulation disc golf course, and public library. Its Country Park Events Center includes an amphitheater, covered picnic area, ball fields, the Seahawk Play 60 Playground and is the home of the annual Yakima Valley Fair & Rodeo.

In recent years the city undertook a major renovation and upgrade of its downtown area, providing an attractive area for strolling and shopping.

Yakima Valley Community College’s Grandview branch campus includes the Yakima Valley Vintners teaching winery, where tomorrow’s winemakers learn their craft and produce their own wines. Tours and wine tastings can be arranged by calling 509-882-7069.

Among Grandview’s special events is the Yakima Valley Fair

& Rodeo, scheduled this year for Aug. 8-12. The annual show features a real country experience with a parade, livestock exhibits, entertainment, a car show, beer garden, food and merchandise vendors and, of course, rodeo. There’s also a parade.

Learn more at yvfair-rodeo.org, email info@ yvfair-rodeo.org or call 509-882-1197.

As part of that weekend the chamber of commerce puts on its annual car show.

Grandview also honors an ancient custom with its Great Grandview Grape Stomp — which is just what the name implies. Barefoot contestants climb into wooden barrels filled with grapes and stomp out the juice, the traditional winemaking technique. The event is held in September to celebrate the grape harvest. See grapestomp@visitgrandview.org for details.

TOPPENISH

Toppenish’s Many Murals Bring Old West To Life Thanks to its extensive mural collection, Toppenish truly is a place “Where the West Still Lives.”

Each year on the first weekend in June, the Toppenish Mural Society gathers a talented group of artists together to complete a mural in one day.

The Toppenish Mural project began as the Mural-in-a-Day activity in June of 1989, when “Clearing the Land” was created. Since that first mural more than 20 years ago, the local mural society has continued to commission artists each year for the event.

The program has led to 75 murals around the city, illustrating local history on the walls of buildings.

Each mural costs thousands of dollars, and the Mural Society funds the project with donations and money earned from fund-raisers.

A map of the city and a key to where the murals are located in this year’s Visitor’s Guide.

A suggested walking tour is also featured on the map. Just follow the unique horseshoe prints on city sidewalks for help in finding the trail leading to each mural.

The Toppenish Mural project began as the Mural-in-aDay activity in June of 1989, when “Clearing the Land” was created. Since that first mural more than 20 years ago, the local mural society has continued to commission artists each year for the event.

The program has led to 75 murals around the city, illustrating local history on the walls of buildings.

Each mural costs thousands of dollars, and the Mural Society funds the project with donations and money earned from fund-raisers.

A map of the city and a key to where the murals are located in this year’s Visitor’s Guide.

A suggested walking tour is also featured on the map. Just follow the unique horseshoe prints on city sidewalks for help in finding the trail leading to each mural.

The Toppenish Visitor Information Center is at 504 E. Elm St. The center also offers mural souvenirs, postcards and full-color books featuring the murals.

N.P.R. RAIL & STEAM MUSEUM

LIST OF MURALS (CONTINUED) (1892-1978) was one of the original Toppenish Pow Wow Rodeo boosters. He helped organize the rodeo in the beginning. The mural is located on South Toppenish Avenue.

Lincoln and Garfield elementary schools were built in 1908 and 1909.

36. WESTERN HOSPITALITY — When the frontier towns were settled, the “oldest profession” was part of the scene. On the second-floor windows of the Logan Building on Division Street, you can see the ladies and get a feeling for the ebb and flow of activities.

37. HANGING OUT AND HANGING UP — This is one of the two murals on the downtown “Public Westrooms” across Division Street from Old Timers Plaza in downtown Toppenish. A breezy spring in the early 1900s finds mom hanging the clothes and dad reading a catalog in the “library.”

38. HALLOWEEN PRANKS — This is on the public restrooms in downtown Toppenish, also with a theme relating to outhouses. In the early days when outside plumbing was common, pranksters were on the prowl Halloween night and anybody using the facilities that night did so at their own peril.

39. THE SURVEY PARTY — After Gov. Stevens was informed by Lt. George B. McClellan (later a Civil War general) that Snoqualmie Pass was probably impassable during the winter, he directed A. W. Tinkam, a civil engineer, to resurvey the route.

In 1940, the Mercy Theatre chain opened the Pix Theatre. The 16 windows portray early lawyers, judges and physicians who came to town in the early 1900s. The building is downtown on South Toppenish Ave. 41. ALEX McCOY — Born near The Dalles, Ore., in 1835, Alex McCoy was a descendant of the Wishram and Wasco tribes. He was a policeman under four different Indian agents, and served one term as an Indian judge.

42. WILDLIFE — This mural depicts wildlife native to this area prior to its settlement. The mural is located on the north at the corner of Washington and Toppenish Avenue.

43. IRISH DICK — In about 1910, a strapping, hard-drinking shepherd called Irish Dick traded a pet bear cub to a Toppenish saloonkeeper for whiskey. Some months later, the rowdy shepherd was in town when his grown-up pet escaped, panicking townsfolk. He offered to return

the bear to its tether. A terrible fight on Main Street ended when an unharmed bear was returned to saloon servitude and a brave and bloodied Irishman was taken to the hospital.

44. PRESUMED INNOCENT — The judge watches as the prosecutor presents the evidence. A small glass of water is held above an old milk can. Charged with diluting milk, the farmer sits with hat on knee, his lawyer standing behind him. The mural is on the east wall of the city jail building.

45. LONG ROUTE—SHORT DAY 46. SPECIAL DELIVERY — In 1907, mail was first delivered to the rural areas of Toppenish. This was the early start of Rural Free Delivery. The postman had to furnish his own horse and buggy.

Routes were about 23 miles long. If the postman was a bachelor, he occasionally found himself the recipient of home-baked goodies, delivered by the farmer’s daughter.

47. PATTERNS OF LIFE — The unique and beautiful designs on baskets made by the Yakama peoples represent the oldest continuous art form in the Valley, one that is still practiced today. The mural by Janet Essley is at Division near Toppenish Avenue.

48. 100 YEARS IN TOPPENISH — In 1896, Toppenish had lots of sagebrush, a few buildings and no churches. The town’s first church was incorporated as the Methodist Church in 1898 at the corner of Asotin Avenue and Beech Street. It was moved to its present location in 1909, on the corner of Chehalis and Beech, where this mural was painted.

49. THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN DANCE — This dance is done to traditional Indian songs. The name was derived from a legend of some Indian boys who were playing warrior games on the prairie and who looked over a bluff to see a group of prairie chickens dancing during mating season.

50. THE OWL DANCE — This depicts a traditional tribal dance in which both men and women participate.

51. ALL ABOARD — One of Toppenish more unusual murals, it was painted in colors reminiscent of sepia-toned old photographs. The Toppenish depot was a hub of activity for nearly 100 years, with both passenger and freight trains stopping on their routes east and west. The mural is at the corner of Washington Avenue and South Elm Street.

WAPATO Proudly Displaying The Area’s Cultural Diversity On the way through Wine Country, stop by Wapato, the first community south of Yakima and Union Gap, where you will find the same family farms that have provided fruits and vegetables to locals for decades.

The name Wapato is of Yakama Indian origin — Wa-pa-too — an edible root valued by native Yakamas and settlers alike. Settlers have been in the area since as early as 1885. In 1903, the Postal Service changed the name of the town from Simcoe to Wapato, because Simcoe was too much like nearby Fort Simcoe. It was incorporated as a town in 1908.

Wapato has always been a farming community. Initial accomplishments were a city park and work beginning on streets and irrigation ditches. The early revenue

ZILLAH Small-Town Charm With Many Attractions When visiting the Yakima Valley, be sure to schedule a stop at Zillah — a town with wineries, a quaint historic landmark, community events and plenty of small-town charm.

Founded in 1891, the town was started at the completion of the Sunnyside Canal project, which ultimately delivered water from the Yakima River to the Lower Valley to allow for growing more crops. Walter Granger, superintendent of the canal company, chose the town site.

The town was named for Zillah Oakes, daughter of Thomas Fletcher Oakes, president of the Northern Pacific Railway, which backed the building of the canal.

One local landmark is the Teapot Dome Gas Station. The iconic teapotshaped building that once sat off the highway near Zillah is now at home in town. And it still draws a crowd.

The small building is on the National Historic Register (since 1985) and is also on the Most Endangered Historic Properties List with Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.

The Teapot Dome has a long, interesting history. It was handcrafted as a gas stationh in 1922 as a memorial to the Teapot Dome oil scandal during the President Warren Harding administration. It remained a working gas station for decades before finally being abandoned. The city purchased it in 2007 and in 2012 relocated and renovated the building. It now sits near a small park and public restrooms.

Zillah gets a steady stream of visitors who stop by going to and from the many nearby wineries. In April during Spring Barrel Tasting is an especially popular time to visit. There are at least 20 wineries located just minutes away from Zillah, all offering special tastings and bargains.

You’ll also want to visit the Old Warehouse at 705 Railroad Ave. As the name says, it’s a former fruit warehouse built in the 1920s that was converted to

a furniture store. Later a restaurant and lounge were added, and another area was converted into 50,000-squae foot events center.

Every Saturday at 6:30 p.m. there’s a lively auction — you never know what you’ll find.

Special Events Every year, hundreds of locals and visitors turn out for Zillah’s Spring Fling, a fun event with wine, food and entertainment. Held during the wineries’ Spring Barrel Tasting, the day is filled with events like a classic car show, wine and food tasting and live entertainment.

In May enjoy breakfast in the park and a parade as part of Zillah Community Days. The weekend celebration also includes vendors, a talent contest and a lot of fun, old-fashioned competitions like an egg toss, sack race, etc.

July 4th is Zillah’s Freedom Celebration.

In September check out the Not Just A Farmers Market Gala with vendors from all over the state as well as live entertainment. Get ready for Christmas with Zillah’s Old-fashioned Christmas celebration in December.

You can learn more about the town’s attractions and events at www. zillahchamber.com or www.cityofzillah.us.

Union Gap is the oldest community in the area — hence its nickname, Old Town. But a lot has changed since it was first named Yakima City in 1869.

Yakima City was given its charter rights in 1883. But things got off to a shaky start in 1884 when the village and Northern Pacific Railroad owners argued about land for a train depot. Feeling it wasn’t getting a good enough deal, the railroad went five miles north and built its first train depot in the middle of nowhere — what is today downtown Yakima.

Yakima City residents, knowing they couldn’t thrive without access to the railroad, starting hauling their homes and businesses north, often with teams of horses, and relocated around the new depot.

About 100 buildings made the trip.

Before long, the original Yakima City (today’s Union Gap

UNION GAP — confusing, isn’t it?) was outgrown by its new neighbor, North Yakima. In 1917 North Yakima became Yakima, and what was left of Yakima City was renamed Union Gap. Today Union Gap has about 6,000 residents. But the small town packs an economic punch with the Valley Mall, the region’s biggest retail center, and numerous other large stores and thriving industries.

You can trace the area’s past with a visit to Pioneer Graveyard, dating to 1865, located at 120 E. Ahtanum Road.

MOXEE Paying Homage To Cultural, Agricultural Roots The city of Moxee may be small today, it’s huge compared to a few years ago. A recent housing boom grew the population from 820 in 2000 to more than 3,700 now.

The area a few miles east of Yakima became home to several French-Canadian farm families around 1867, with others joining them to create a thriving French-speaking community with its own French school.

Today that heritage is evident in the names of many of the rural roads around Moxee, named after the early French immigrants whose descendants still live in the vicinity.

In 1921 the city of Moxee was officially incorporated. The early settlers quickly

learned that hops grew especially well in the soil around Moxee, and that ingredient of beer became a major crop. Today the Yakima Valley grows about 70 percent of America’s total hop production, with Moxee still at the center of it all.

More recently, though, Moxee

has also developed into a center for manufacturing, shipping and processing, with several large employers located at an industrial park.

Moxee celebrates the hop industry on the first Friday and Saturday each August with the Moxee Hop Festival, including a parade, live entertainment, food and vendors — and naturally, plenty of beer.

You can check the details at www. moxeehopfestival.com.

NACHES Naches Is The Gateway To Outdoor Recreation It is located on the foothills of the Cascades and if you love your fun outdoors, Naches is a great place to visit.

Located on Highway 12 just a few miles from Yakima, it’s within easy reach of camping, skiing at White Pass, hunting deer or elk, fishing or rafting on one of the many creeks or rivers, hiking, caving, exploring nearby waterfalls. It’s a great place to stop on your way to and from White Pass, Chinook Pass or Mount Rainier National Park.

In the summer, stop by one of its many roadside fruit stands or U-pick farms, explore close-by attractions like Boulder Cave or hike one of the many trails in the area.

During the winter plan a snowmobiling trip, or check out the Oak Creek Wildlife Area to see elk and bighorn sheep being fed. All year long you can enjoy the shops and restaurants in this quaint, small town. And don¹t forget to plan an extended visit during one of the town¹s many events.

Nile Valley Days, held July 14-16 at Sprick Park, is packed with outdoor family-friendly activities: vendors with hand-crafted items, food booths, displays, kids games, egg-toss, live entertainmentand much more. A $1 donation is appreciated at the gate.

For more information on Naches events and things to do, visit

www.nachesvalleychamber.com or www.whistlinjacklodge.com Originally called Natchez, the community was settled in the late 19th century and grew gradually.

The Northern Pacific Railroad came to Natchez in 1906, but it was the shuttle train tagged “Sagebrush Annie” that would establish a twice daily commuter link between Naches and the Yakima marketplace.

Shortly after the 1906 appointment of the Upper Valley town’s first postmaster the town moved to change the spelling Proud to be part of its name from Natchez to Naches. of the Naches community!

Proud to be part Proud to be part of the Naches of the Naches community! community!

By 1922 the town’s population was still small at about 300, with the economy based mainly on forestry and agriculture.

Even today the population is right around 800 people.

The town is home to the Naches Ranger District that oversees a big chunk of OkanoganWenatchee National Forest lands in the area.

FORT SIMCOE An Experience That Takes You Back In Time Located about seven miles west of White Swan, Fort Simcoe State Park is a 200-acre park and interpretive center on the Yakama Indian Reservation. It sits in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in an old oak grove watered by natural springs.

Originally the site was an Indian campground where many trails crossed. Then during the late 1850s, Fort Simcoe was built as a U.S. Army fort. It housed troops who were stationed there to keep peace between local Indians and the growing number of settlers moving into the region.

While the fort was active, it was a meeting, trade and cultural center. Later, when the fort was no longer used by the military, it became the first home of the Yakama Indian Agency, serving as a school for the Indian children.

The park was established in 1956 and stands as an interpretive area to tell the story of mid-19th century Army life and providing insights into local Native American culture. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Fort Simcoe State Park is open from 6:30 a.m. to dusk, April 1 to Oct. 1 as a day-use park.

Five original buildings are still standing at the fort: the commander’s house, three captains’ houses and a blockhouse.

Various other buildings have been recreated to appear original.

Houses are filled with period furnishings.

The interpretive center, the original commander’s house and two officer buildings with period furnishings open to the public from April through September Wednesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Although the rooms are protected with glass, visitors feel as though they have stepped back in time. The original blockhouse and other recreated fort buildings are not open to the public.

The park is also one of the largest gathering areas in the Northwest of the Lewis’ woodpecker, according to Washington State Parks. Named after explorer Meriwether Lewis, Lewis’ woodpeckers are among the most specialized of all American woodpeckers in fly-catching behavior. Unlike other American woodpeckers, 60 percent of their feeding time is spent flycatching. The woodpeckers can be located throughout the park, with the best viewing areas near the officer’s houses and the picnic area.

WHITE PASS / CHINOOK PASS Head For The Hills To Find More Recreation Sightings of nearby Mount Adams and Mount Rainier are a visual reminder of another great Yakima Valley asset — our proximity to recreation in the Cascade Mountains.

White Pass Ski Resort is one of the state’s premier skiing destinations for downhill and cross-country ski adventures, showshoeing and snowboarding. Check out www.skiwhitepass.com to learn all about this facility with its variety of ski areas, lifts and amenities.

White Pass is about 40 miles up Highway 12 from the town of Naches, an easy drive from the Yakima Valley.

Once ski season is over, the whole area of Wenatchee National Forest becomes a recreational hot spot for hikers, mountain bikers, campers, anglers, hunters, photographers, horseback riders, rafters — you name it.

You can get the lowdown on forest trails, campgrounds and other activities at the U.S. Forest Service ranger station in Naches, located on Highway 12. Phone: (509) 653-1401, or visit the website under www.fs.usda.gov.

Bumping Lake and Clear Lake provide big areas for boating activities, while numerous rivers, streams, alpine lakes and ponds offer a variety of fishing experiences.

If you take the other turn at the Y outside of Naches and head into the mountains on Highway 410, Chinook Pass offers more outdoor splendor and activities. A stop at the pass summit and Tipsoo Lake offers classic up-close views of Mount Rainier — and if you time your trip right in the late summer, an astounding display of alpine wildflowers around the small lake, perfect for a picnic stop, a short hike and photos.

And all this is right in our neighborhood. From Yakima, you’re only

FORT SIMCOE Military Re-enactment To kick off the spring opening of the park and to keep history alive, the park holds its Fort Simcoe Military Days every year.

YAKIMA TROLLEYS & RAILWAY MUSEUM railroad service was limited to one line in downtown Yakima. In 1909, the YVT was purchased by the Union Pacific Railroad so it could expand the system as a feeder of freight and produce to the Union Pacific mainline.

In 1910, the YVT built a car barn, and in 1911 the powerhouse substation was constructed, providing the electricity to operate the trolleys.

The same time that automobiles were growing, trolley use was declining. In 1947, the YVT stopped streetcar service.

Freight operations halted in 1985, and much of the system was donated to the city, which opened the museum.

The trolley season runs through the summer and early fall.

Trolley rides begin at the car barn.

First run of the day is at 10 a.m. and the last run eaves the car barn at 3 p.m.

Ticket prices range from $6 for adults

to $4 for seniors and kids 12 and younger.

Heritage University, located outside Toppenish, is an accredited, private institution offering a wide array of academic programs and degrees. Students enjoy a world-class, multicultural education and personalized attention. Classes are small, averaging only 11 students in each class.

Heritage makes it possible to earn a college degree while continuing to live and work. Many undergraduate courses are offered during the evenings and graduate courses are offered on the weekends. In addition to the main campus in Toppenish, three regional sites in Tri-Cities, Moses Lake and Wenatchee bring classes closer to students.

Heritage is a nonprofit, independent, nondenominational, accredited institution of higher education offering undergraduate and graduate education. Its mission is to provide quality, accessible higher education to multicultural populations that have been educationally isolated.

Within its liberal arts curriculum, Heritage offers strong professional and career-oriented programs designed to enrich the quality of life for students and their communities.

Located in Ellensburg, Central Washington University is part of the state university system, dating back to 1891. Today it serves some 13,000 students at eight locations. CWU is co-located with community colleges in Edmonds, Everett, Des Moines, Steilacoom/Puyallup, Kent, Yakima, Moses Lake and Wenatchee, where students can complete baccalaureate degrees without leaving their communities.

A new dual admission program allows community college students to be admitted to CWU when they are admitted to a college, streamlining the admissions, advising, and transfer processes. CWU also serves more students on-line than any other comprehensive university in Washington. “Finish Line” is an online campus launched in fall 2011 to enable people to complete degrees online.

CWU graduates about 3,000 students a year, and has 3,100 students on its Ellensburg campus. It offers more than 135 majors including nationally and/or regionally distinguished programs in music, geology, paramedicine, physics and education.

Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences in Yakima is a medical school offering education in osteopathic medicine. The school welcomed its first class of students in 2008, and now houses 280 students at the campus from all around the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere.

The school was founded with the mission of training physicians to work in rural areas and other locations facing a shortage of medical professionals. In their third and fourth years of study, students go to work and train at hospitals and clinics primarily around the Northwest.

Yakima Valley Community College in Yakima, founded in 1928, is one of the state’s oldest community colleges.

YVCC is a public, two-year institution that offers programs in adult basic education, English as a Second Language, lower division arts and sciences, professional and technical education and community services.
