Thankful, even in the time of coronavirus.
November 24, 2020

Hi Yaki-peeps.

It’s the week of Thanksgiving. Perhaps one of the most memorable of our holidays yet, simply for the fact that our hearts are breaking a little as we plan for FaceTime dinners and missing many of our friends and family with whom we would usually gather. However, a Zoom Thanksgiving is much preferable to an ICU Thanksgiving. And for that, we’re here to celebrate and give thanks.

Once more, with feeling: Yakima, you have our hearts. We’re so thankful for you all. We’ll make it through this.

In the meantime, here are a few things we are crushing on.

Eat: There have been many indulgences since the beginning of the pandemic. One of them has been YUM Yakima baked goods, specifically the pies. Her perfect crusts, coupled with local fruit, make our tummies sing. YUM Yakima is 100% online, and you can special order pies, cookies, cakes, and bread. Peruse the menu and online ordering info here. Pro-tip: On Wednesdays, you can buy a pie - and many other local goods - at the McIlrath Market & Produce drive-thru from 2-6 PM, Wednesdays.

Shop: The Inklings online store is super fly. You can search their in-store inventory from their site, and if they don't have the book you want, they'll order it for you and let you know when it arrives. Of course, if you still want to call in, they'll do that, too. But for you late-night shoppers, this is a great alternative.

Read: November is National Native American Heritage Month. We're reading Spirit Run: A 6,000-Mile Marathon Through North America's Stolen Land, written by Yakima local, Noé Álvarez, to remember and celebrate. Have you read it? Send us your thoughts!

Do: Check out the BRAND NEW merch that just landed at Yakima's Ship Shop! They just unveiled their exclusive "We Grow Your Beer" and "Palm Springs of Washington" tees, in color combos only available at the Ship Shop. These are perfect stocking stuffers, especially for loved ones who may not be able to travel home this year. We are so impressed with Yakima's Ship Shop. They have pivoted big time, not only during COVID times with making the shop extra COVID-safe, but also as a one-stop-shop for local goods. We heart you, Nicholas and team!
