  • Yakima,is second in the most depressing places to live ,maybe not on earth,but at least in Washington State!!It may have sunshine,well at least more than Aberdeen,but the sun is not worth living in gang central,having your cars and houses broken into,and graffitied,worrying about your kids beeing jumped into a gang, or about getting shot,mugged,or raped.This place is like living in Dante's Inferno.It is like Tacoma,but in the desert,and believe it or not,Tacoma is nicer.This could be a beautiful place to live,but it has been ruined by the gangs,the economy,(due to all the employers choosing to hire illegals and people here on a work release,cuz it's cheaper for the bussinesses ,rather than to hire the people who are here legally,and pay thier dues and tax dollars,etc.so everyones on unemployment or welfare,unless thier retired!!!), it has just been ruined!!!!When you live in town,and you have nieghbors with chickens up in the trees,than you better get out while you can.may god help us all!!!!!
  • Yakima Training Center was where I had fun in the sun at my second home from spring to early summer during the 1990's. In other words, I was with the Washington Army National Guard and my unit was 3rd Bataillon, 161st Infantry. Not as bad as Holenfelds, Germany.
