The YWCA Yakima marks its 110th year in the Valley this year, proving their expert ability to adapt to the community around them.

It is the “largest provider of domestic violence services in central Washington,” and a powerful force in creating a safer community for each of us. It's a unique and invaluable resource for the Yakima Valley.

We love it when people turn their passions into something new that lifts up our community.

Over the last year, their dream has been made real, and their vision is clear: The Virginia Mason Memorial Downtown Yakima Mile.

*Please note, our partnership with the Yakima Mile is 99% love and 1% in-kind sponsorship.

An essential part of “hearting” Yakima is celebrating what makes Yakima unique. Nothing fits the bill quite like our hop industry. Thanks to breweries like Bale Breaker, we now have a thriving beer scene as well. Which is why we’re super excited to partner with Bale Breaker on a new hat that celebrates local love. Preorder it below! 
 
Bale Breaker is a great example of the kind of business that we love to partner with: inclusive, innovative, generous and collaborative.
