Yakima, the county seat, is the principal city, flanked by smaller towns such as Selah, Union Gap, and Toppenish that contribute to the metro area’s vibrant community life.
Geographically, the Yakima metro area is characterized by its rich agricultural lands surrounded by the scenic backdrop of the Cascade Range. The region’s fertile soil makes it one of the leading agricultural centers in Washington, particularly renowned for its production of apples, hops, and wine grapes. This fruitful landscape not only defines the local economy but also adds to the area’s natural beauty, attracting visitors and supporting local businesses.
Economically, agriculture drives the Yakima metro area, with numerous orchards, hop farms, and vineyards playing a pivotal role in the local and national markets. The area is often referred to as one of the world’s leading producers of apples and hops, which significantly influences local processing, packaging, and distribution industries. Beyond agriculture, healthcare and education also make up substantial sectors of the economy. Major employers include Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital and the Yakima School District, providing stable employment opportunities across various professional fields.
