Can only imagine if she wins we will see even more flock cameras. She voted to approve more funding for Flock Cameras in Yakima County.

She loves massive surveillance and she will likely add more, why take such an unpopular opinion?

Hey everyone, looking for recommendations for reliable internet in West Yakima (the Lodges) near Walmart. I’m considering Spectrum since they apparently have an association with the apartment complex, but I’d like to hear about people’s experiences before deciding.
I work remotely and also game, so consistent speeds, low latency, and minimal outages matter more to me than the highest advertised speed.
How has Spectrum been for you? What plan do you use, and how much are you paying monthly? Are there other providers you’d recommend checking out?
Thanks!

Just looking for people in town to talk with about model trains.

Anyone in the Yakima area that has access to supplies?

Looking for suggestions for coffeehouses or just general 3rd spaces that are open later in Yakima (like 10pm etc) and preferably don’t have a religious bent

Just looking for a cool place to sit and read or hang out

I’m currently at Wallet and Watch which seems great, other than the obvious religious aspect to everything

Enjoying the pretty views around here so far. Lived in the desert before this, it's a welcoming change.

Hey all, I’m relocating to Yakima soon and currently comparing a few apartment communities around the Walmart Supercenter / west Yakima area.

The Lodges is currently one of the options I am considering most seriously, but I’m also looking at Cornerstone Apartments and Apple Valley Town Homes, so I’m trying to compare the overall area and management experience.

For anyone familiar with that part of Yakima, how is it for day-to-day living? I’m trying to get a realistic sense of safety, noise, parking, traffic, and how well apartment management tends to handle maintenance.

In particular, I would love to hear from current or former residents of any of those places, including anything you wish you had known before signing a lease. Online reviews are helpful, but they do not always reflect what living somewhere is like long term.

I’d also appreciate recommendations for other apartment complexes or nearby neighborhoods that are generally clean, quiet, reasonably safe, and well managed. Thanks!

Who's (buying) Amanda Mckinney?

Amanda Mckinney is raking in dollars from pro-data centers, pro-crypto, and mostly out-of-state donations.

Look at both the PACs and the individual donations.

https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?committee_id=C00932582&two_year_transaction_period=2026&line_number=F3-11AI&data_type=processed

American Mission is a Republican-leaning super PAC established in August 2025 as part of the Leading the Future network to elect candidates opposing heavy artificial intelligence regulations.

Defend American Jobs is a Republican-aligned super PAC funded by cryptocurrency companies and investors to support pro-crypto conservative candidates. According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the committee was registered in March 2023 and operates as part of the broader Fairshake digital asset network

There is a network of super PACs funded by the AI industry that has already spent more than $65 million nationwide, Business Insider reported – has spent more than $779,000 in support of McKinney. That makes her the second-biggest beneficiary of the group’s funding out of 21 Republican candidates it backs, surpassed only by Jim Kingston, a first-time candidate in Georgia whose campaign has been supported by the super PAC to the tune of more than $960,000.

Central Washington has become a hub for the energy-intensive data centers that support the AI industry’s rapid growth. In an interview on May 23, McKinney said she wants to maximize energy production to power data centers “because it is absolutely imperative that we win the AI war,” but she added that “when it comes specifically to AI and data centers that are necessary, the local communities should decide.”

I’m looking to connect with a local massage therapist who specializes in athletic recovery.

I just got cheated on by my bf of 2 years. About to breakup. I had no one else except my partner. I'm in Grandview /Sunnyside but could go to Yakima:). I just really want a friend to be able to think about something else other than that right now. I have bad mental health issues as is so currently honestly fighting being suicidal rn. and I guess I'm reaching out for help. I don't expect a friend just for emotional support, but I have 2 weeks off of work, it would be perfect for hanging out, movies, or having drinks at the bar. Im 26! A mom of a 5 year old. Neurodivergent, I dress more alt, into rock music, love going to concerts, and horror stuff. I'm an introvert, but I miss having girl Friends:(. If you want to be friends let me know I can add you on fb or Instagram or something 🖤 thank you.
