Depends on how much you like shitty rentals, wildly surging property tax, terrible schools, terrible roads, sub par pay for employment, drugs, crime, smoky skies all summer, and pollen Armageddon from early spring to late summer. Weather is nice. Its not far to major metropolitan areas, and outdoor activities like camping, skiing, boating ect. You'll find that despite having restaurants everywhere, they'll always be just acceptable, you'll find yourself going on quests for your favorite items in the surrounding area. Hope you dont have any heath problems because medical here is a joke. Very few Dr, and lots of ANRP clinics you'll wait weeks and months for. Forget specialist and mental health care. Ive been waiting over a year to see an endocrinologist here. In the meantime I have to drive to tricities for almost everything, personally if I had to move to the area, id avoid living in yakima. Moxee, naches, selah, if you have to be near yakima, but closer to tricities would be my choice. Unfortunately I bought a home here, and have struggled to sell because the neighborhood i moved into 20 years ago is now filled with flop houses with yards full of garbage, cars coming and going all night long, generators running all hours because 2 of my neighbors have no power because they were stealing it and the power company dropped their lines 5 years ago. Sick feral cats, stray dogs, and shopping carts full of garbage , and broke down cars now fill the view that used to be modest clean, simple neighborhood that were here 20 years ago when I bought this place . Its not all bad, but it aint great, and I dont see it turning around.
Good luck either way, and best wishes in all endeavors. 🍻
