Yakima County is located in South Central Washington, east of the Cascade Mountain range.  Because of this, we enjoy nearly 300 days of sunshine, four distinct and beautiful seasons, all in an arid climate.  The Yakima Valley has a total population of 243,231 residents, 159,342 of whom reside in the region’s 14 incorporated cities and we’ve provided community profiles for each one.  These include relocation information such as contacts for city utilities, voter and auto registrations, and child care, in addition to a school district profile, local library information, and helpful community web links.  Simply click on the city name to download and/or print the profile.
