The city of Yakima is located in central Washington and is the largest city in the area. For a small city, Yakima has all that you would expect from a much larger metropolitan area with its own orchestra, theaters, arts scene, and some large scale annual festivals.
The Yakima Electric Railway Museum describes the history of the Yakima Valley Transportation Co. and features antique streetcars and related equipment. The museum is the car barn for the Yakima Valley Trolleys, which is still in operation. Yakima Valley Trolleys constructed the railroad and substation in the early 1900s and is today listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
