Take a fresh bite out of Yakima! While you're on your latest visit to Yakima, you can check out their great dining, lodging, and shopping that is available all around the area. There are so many sports for you to enjoy in this city, from catching a semi-pro football game to speeding to the races at the speedway, if you're into the thrill of competition, you'll be sure to be satisfied with what Yakima has to offer. Or if you're into the most casual competition, be sure to meet up with friends at the Apple Tree Golf Course, where it has quickly become one of the Pacific Northwest's premier golf experiences. If you'd rather enjoy your time taking in a bit of some culture, you'll have to be sure to check out the Capitol Theatre, which stands as a testament to the community's commitment to its heritage and its long-standing commitment to the arts. And we would be remised if we didn't mention something about Yakima Valley's wine country, where you're able to visit more than 90 wineries and five American Viticulture Areas in just 70 short miles and 17,000 acres of producing vineyards. Explore what Yakima has to offer on their website here.
