    This was a really cool surprise find recently! The trolley in Yakima is the last remaining intercity Trolley car in the USA as it goes to Selah in the summer time - very cool stuff! We saddled yo and came down to check out the Trolley and associated Trolley museum when Santa was in town going on rides downtown, and my what a lovely time it was. The trolley runs on weekends and holidays during the summer months and then at random times throughout the remainder of the year. One of those times is a couple weekends in the winter for the Santa Trolley- a lovely ride where St. Nick jumps on and says hello to the kids. The trip was $5 per person and took about 25 minutes. The kids got to say hi to Santa and the group sang Christmas carols. It was a delight! The museum is relatively small, but has some great small exhibits taking about the history of the cars, both in terms of how they run and how they fit into the area. The Trolleys, in Yakima, have been around over 100 years and the cars that are running have as well - they're the 1776 and 1976, and these are the street car numbers rather than when they were built. The actual cars are downright beautiful. Largely original interior with seats that reverse direction depending on whether you're coming or going. The conductors are super friendly and all volunteers for what is truly a labor of love to preserve something that is unique and very historical. Bravo to this place for continuing to pull off some great events and maintaining a piece of the past so all of us can continue to enjoy it!

    600volts to power this trolly!! Due to our growing experimental pharmacological camping population (drug seeking, without home, copper stealing folks), the trolly cars of today must be powered by a diesel generator. Today, we had the opportunity to ride during the Memorial Day weekend. The route covered Yakima to Selah and lasted about a half hour each way. Before departure, we were given a very great history lesson on the trolleys and system in Yakima. It's worth the ride just for the history if you're into to the "past" of how things come to be. This was great for the whole family!

    Incredible! My dad…read morewas from Yakima, so I wanted to visit. I have no idea how I'd research things, but I did try - I did numerous web searches and there wasn't much I could find. We were in Yakima last week and we stopped by the museum. We were greeted by a nice man, who we bought tickets from. I told him my story and he said we should speak to John. Luckily, he was in and we went into the archives office and he showed us all kinds of things! He found my grandfather's store, then he told us that it was torn down, but he told us about other businesses in the area! He showed us pictures dating back over 100 years! He then found my dad's old house. We took down the address - this is something I'd like to see! He gave us a lot of great information - what an amazing man! He showed us some artwork in another room, then sent us on our tour of the museum. We had a wonderful docent give us a tour. She took us room to room, answered our questions and made the entire experience world class! In the middle of our tour, John came by and showed us another photo he had pulled up! Now that's amazing! We finished our tour. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we learned a lot about Yakima. Oh yeah, we also learned that we were staying in Union Gap, not Yakima. After the museum, we went to where the store was, then we went to see where my dad great up. What a perfect day and it was all due to the excellent staff at the Yakima Valley Museum and Historical Association! You have to visit this museum!

The staff member reading the story was enthusiastic & encouraged the kids to participate with hand gestures & songs. They got to do water color painting afterwards, too. The book checkout process was so simple thanks to the high end computer that just scans the books on its own when you set the stack on there. The staff was friendly as well when greeting us. We have made story time a regular event now :)

Schedules of kids activities, programming classes and other pleasantries were listed at the front desk. More than anything, I was surprised at the number of different sections to relax here. The children's area was bright and had plenty of area to read and be read to, in addition to a half a dozen computers. A number of study carousels are available for those wishing to get their study on, and all include plenty of outlets. Perhaps the coolest area they have here is the fireside reading spot - a few comfy chairs and a place for your coffee! More books that you can shake a stick at and a nice selection of DVDs for rentals. All in all, a lovely spot to read, study or just hang with the kiddos!

    Admittedly, my experience in art galleries is pretty limited. At the core, I'm just not smart…read moreenough to appreciate art. I love fun colors and a painting of something that I couldn't otherwise produce, but anymore I'm just not smart enough, or creative enough probably, to appreciate much of what's produced. We had some friends when we lived in the Midwest, whose parents owned an art gallery. It was fun to look around, but all of it was super high-end and the sort of thing that they would probably sell one or two paintings per month and be just fine doing. This art gallery, we found, was one that supports the local food bank and highlights artist from the area...Win-win! This gallery has a pretty small footprint, and is located on the north west corner of Tietan Square, in the town of Tietan. As an aside, this little town has done an amazing job of really fostering the arts in a place where they would otherwise be almost completely absent. The gallery is probably five or 600 ft.², with a large main room and a small offshoot. They display whatever artist has pieces to display, and also sell jewelry, greeting cards and other small art pieces. We were told that the places almost entirely run by volunteers and that the vast majority of the proceeds go to the local food bank. It's a really neat way to make sure that the food bank stays as stocked as possible. The cards here are all made by a gentleman who donates them in the proceeds go, again, to the local food bank. We found some pretty funny cards, as well as a number of them for other occasions. We can never find a birthday card when we need it so we figured we just pick up a few! All in all, this is a really cool little studio that supports the artistic mission of the community, and helps make sure the food bank has a relatively steady source of income. If you have a chance to check out this place, either just being in the area or for an event, It's well worth your time!

    I love visiting this gallery and viewing all the genres of artistic talents. One of the amazing…read morethings is most of the artists are local to the area.
