Yakima County, Administrative division in Washington State, US
Yakima County extends across 4,300 square miles of south-central Washington State, encompassing desert areas, mountains, and agricultural lands between the Cascade Range and Columbia Basin.
The establishment of Yakima County in 1886 marked the beginning of organized governance in this region, where Native American tribes had maintained settlements for generations.
The Yakama Nation continues to influence the region through their traditions, while the agricultural community contributes to making this area a center of fruit and hop production.
The county government provides residents with electronic payment systems, well testing services, and access to legal resources through the Superior Court system.
Yakima County produces 75% of the United States hop crop, making it the primary source of this essential brewing ingredient in North America.
