2026 Yakima Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

Hidden in the secluded Yakima area near Seattle is a cafe that feels like stepping back in time ☕️ – NorthTown Coffeehouse! This place was originally a century-old train station 🚉, now transformed into a super atmospheric retro cafe~ 🌟 An Art Space Where Time and Space Intertwine You'll be amazed the moment you open the door! Relief columns stand in a charmingly staggered arrangement, and the old photo wall quietly tells the story of bygone years 📸. Vintage chandeliers cast dappled light, and sunlight streams in through the high windows, making the whole space seem filtered with nostalgia ✨ ☕️ A Must-Visit Specialty Coffee on Your Travels A heavenly spot discovered on your way to cherry picking! Sipping a fragrant hand-drip coffee in the renovated waiting hall, watching the sunlight dance on the mosaic floor 💃. The old brick walls of the train station and the modern coffee machines create a wonderful contrast, making every snapshot an Instagram-worthy masterpiece. 📸 🚗 Three-day, two-night itinerary recommendations: [Day 1️⃣] Artistic Yakima Stroll ✔️ Visit NorthTown Coffeehouse ✔️ Stroll through the town's art district looking for graffiti walls [Day 2️⃣] Orchard Fun Day ✔️ Seasonal fruit picking in Yakima Valley (cherries 🍒/apples 🍎 vary with the season) ✔️ Buy fresh jam at the farm market [Day 3️⃣] Snow Mountain Pilgrimage ✔️ Hiking in Rainier National Park (highly recommend the Paradise Trail) ✔️ Encounter a rainbow at the snow mountain viewpoint 🌈 This cafe, converted from an old train station, perfectly preserves the warmth of history 🌡️ while infusing it with new vitality! Next time you're traveling around Seattle, don't miss this magical time capsule-like space~

🌟$20 per bucket. You really just get a bucket, no weighing, packed full for $20. Our bucket roughly weighed about 10 pounds. Half a bucket is also available for $10. Some details: ✔️ Everyone is asked to wash their hands before entering the farm. ✔️ Picking buckets are provided at no extra charge. ✔️ The buckets are very clean, and there is a special place to put dirty buckets. ✔️ After picking, they provide plastic bags for packing at no charge. The whole farm is kept very tidy, not the messy kind of U-Pick. The owner is very nice and encourages us to pick and eat as much as we want, no time limit. So we kept tasting along the way, fully immersed and very full. Not exaggerating, it basically solved lunch… There are three varieties in order upon entry: 🫐 Duke 🫐 Draper 🫐 Legacy My personal favorite is Legacy! The sweetest and the best-looking bushes (by the end, I was seriously considering: should I plant one at home too…😂) Next to the blueberry field is a small garden. This year is the first time they opened Flower U-Pick, and the flowers are blooming beautifully🌸. There are also a few clean benches to sit, rest, and take photos. The whole atmosphere is very comfortable and healing. 📍Cowiche Creek U-Pick Blueberry Farm 500 Dahl Rd, Yakima, WA 98908 We came here based on a post we saw, thanks for sharing! Business hours are in the last picture.

yesterday was the day I dread every year but this year I had family and friends with me we took a beautiful trip up to Yakima where my dad was born and went to all of his old favorite spots we have a beautiful night and I wish I could have caught it on camera but there was a shooting star that I caught out of the corner of#tripblazers my eye thank you Dad you may be gone because he'll never be forgotten we love and miss you thank you for teaching us so much about being a human being we all love you and miss you#celebrationof life

#fallingforfall leaves have been going to fall it's my favorite time of year to be back in Eastern Washington started in Spokane and end in the day in Yakima at holiday Lodge when swimming with some friends got to see all the dogs in the family if you haven't been to Eastern Washington during the fall I highly recommend it

still can't believe this trip went off without a hitch I got to see everybody I wanted to and the dogs couldn't ask for more#spooktaculartrip

#fallingforfall the leaves are turning sky is getting darker earlier it's my favorite time of year sure do miss you Dad I'm going to celebrate your life for the rest of the remaining year

this whole trip has been amazing had to stop in on my Uncle Mike's doorstep and surprise him haven't seen him in over 10 years got to see my favorite dog in the entire world and my daughter today this trip has been full of excitement and suspense can't wait to get back on the road

it's been years since I had a chance to stop him and see my dad we had to take up this opportunity to stop in and see him have a blast it was an amazing time I wish I would never have to end and now the trip continues

I've been here for about a week and a half now unfortunately lost everything in the house fire but this place has been more than a culminating and understanding sometimes it takes a little bit longer for me to get payment through to #staycations them but they're always kind and caring they never rush me unless I absolutely have to be which is never this place I would recommend anybody some would say it's in a bad part of town but I would say that that's everywhere you go you just have to choose to look the other way all in all I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice quiet place to sit and think

Another thing Is that the beds are super comfy and the ac works amazing. Thank you Ramada. I have been here for 7 days and they are always on top of giving me the best for me being here for so long. Another thing is the breakfast is so amazing every morning freshly made by scratch.
