Central to IHY is our love for living and loving everything local. A core part of that love is dedicated to our locally-owned businesses. We promote them. We celebrate them. We cheers them every chance we get. A thriving local economy is the foundation to a healthy community.
The pandemic has revealed and highlighted how amazing and innovative Yakima entrepreneurs are, from launching online storefronts overnight to changing their business models to address community needs, and fully embracing Zoom as a meeting place.
While not under ideal conditions, we see YOU adapting and pivoting, business community. We see your drive-thrus and curbside pickups, we see your use of technology, we see you implementing protocols to keep our friends and families safe. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! We know this is not without sacrifice.
With the uptick in COVID-19 numbers, our businesses and community need to adjust again. We are all in this together.
