Yakima sits in the Yakima Valley of central Washington, a farm region famous for apples, cherries, hops, and wine. The Yakima Valley American Viticultural Area, the first in the state, gathers wineries along the valley floor, and the valley's hop fields supply brewers across the country. The Yakima Valley Museum traces the region from Native heritage through farm and rail days, and the Capitol Theatre, a restored 1920 stage downtown, hosts concerts and shows. The Central Washington State Fair fills the fairgrounds each fall with rides, livestock, and harvest pride.
