The agricultural hub of YAKIMA
is rather tough terrain: the railroad yard is pretty much its
aesthetic high point. It is an excellent base to visit the tasting
rooms of the award-wining wineries scattered throughout the Yakima
Valley (for information call the Yakima Valley Wine Growers Association,
tel 1-800/258-7270, www.yakimavalleywine.com ). The appealing
part of downtown is among the brightly painted railroad cars at
Yakima Avenue at N First Street, where Track 29 houses
a small collection of shops and food stalls.
Wine-tour maps, as well as lodging and dining information,
can be found at the visitor center , 10 N Eighth
St (MonFri 8.30am5pm, also summer weekends 9am4pm; tel 509/575-3010
or 1-800/221-0751, www.visityakima.com ). Greyhound stops nearby
at 602 E Yakima Ave. Motels and diner-type restaurants
abound along N First Street. Located in the old train
depot is America's first brewpub, Grant's Brewery Pub , 32 N Front
St (tel 509/575-2922), which serves quality hand-crafted ales
and tasty pub food, just as Gasparetti's , 10 N First St (tel
509/248-0628), provides solid, affordable Italian fare. Santiago's
, 111 E Yakima Ave (tel 509/453-1644), is a decent Mexican restaurant,
but for the real thing, super cheap, check out Salsita Antojitos
Mexicanos , N Second St at Yakima Ave (tel 509/425-9515).
Twenty miles south of Yakima, TOPPENISH
, the main town on the Yakima Indian Reservation, has a Wild West
feel enlivened by buildings with historic Western murals. The
visitors center , 11 S Toppenish Ave (tel 509/865-3262,
www.toppenish.org ), supplies brochures on the murals. There are
a few good Mexican restaurants, notably Los Murales , 202 W First
Ave (tel 509/865-7555). In nearby Sunnyside, Snipes Mountain Brewery
& Restaurant , 905 Yakima Valley Hwy (tel 509/837-BREW), serves
great regional food and wine.
