You forgot Coke. I'm not from Yakima, but lived here for 6 years when I was young, and 4+ years this time. Very much want out.
Some really good people of all ethnicities. A lot of crime, and a lot of gang shit. Mostly confined to the Mexicans. Places in town that I would not go to unless armed. Cold in the winter (duh). Lots of really cute Hispanic women - and white ones too for that matter. All too young, but friendly as hell. Maybe one of them would be up for shacking up with an older Sugar Daddy, have yet to ask. Frequent sex would be required of course.
The one thing that never quits bugging me is that so many, mostly older Hispanic males, can't speak English. At all. Every establishment (Banks grocery stores, etc.) has to have a bilingual employee handy. Sorry, I have a problem with that. The USA, 1,000+ miles from the border.
They have this really cool Greenway, an extended walking/biking path along the Yakima river. Another place I would not go unless with someone or armed, and a place I would never go after dark even if armed. Did I mention the homeless problem? Well I guess that is everywhere. Except Heaven aka Pullman.
So no, not the Palm Springs of anywhere. The Tijuana of Washington perhaps.
