The Yakima River defines the setting of Yakima — its broad valley supports orchards, vineyards and hop fields, giving this central Washington city a distinctly agricultural rhythm. Yakima is the county seat and commercial centre of the Yakima Valley, on the drier eastern side of the Cascade Range. The Capitol Theatre, which opened in 1920, is a downtown landmark and continues to host concerts, films and stage productions. The surrounding valley is internationally important for hop growing, while its farms also supply apples, cherries and wine grapes.
