Sunnyside

Few cities in Washington have a history as closely tied to irrigated agriculture as Sunnyside. Set in the Yakima Valley, near the Yakima River and east of the Cascade Range, the city grew as irrigation transformed this dry interior into productive farmland in the early 20th century. Orchards, vineyards, dairy farms and hop fields remain central to the surrounding economy, giving Sunnyside a working landscape shaped by the seasons. Its community also reflects the agricultural heritage of central Washington, including a substantial Hispanic presence.
