The best arts & culture spots in Yakima

“Yakima Valley Trolleys runs historic, operational streetcars so you can hear the rails sing and watch Yakima roll by, zero time machine required. Summer rides are charming, unhurried, and perfect for a low-key date, kiddo adventure, or showing off town to visiting family this week... and yes, they do private charters.”
