Hello, Yakima.
Our local living game is HOT.
To stay smart, clean, and caffeinated, we're ordering books from Inklings, soap from Selah Lavender Farm, and coffee from Basalt Roasters. We're supplementing our Pacific Northwest Fresh and McIlrath Farms produce boxes with extras from Dagdagan Farms, and picking up gift cards from Wrays (for We Are Yakima - extra thanks to Chris Brown at Wray’s and Banner Bank for their speedy help). We won't even share our most recent takeout orders. There's not enough room.
We are overwhelmed by all those who are jumping in to support We Are Yakima.
Georgetown Brewing Company announced that they are doing something they've never done before -- they're making Manny's Pale Ale six-packs available for six weeks. This is a big deal. Manny's has NEVER been canned. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to beverage and food industry workers throughout the state of Washington, distributed through We Are Yakima, Big Table, and the Plate Fund.
Swoon. When we lived in Seattle in our younger years, we spent our paychecks on pitchers of Manny's, so this gesture is filling our hearts a little extra. Our westside neighbors are shining bright, and in true Georgetown fashion, they are using what helped start them to pay it forward to the entire state that helped launch them. Georgetown Brewing, you are a class act.
Look for them in stores starting May 27th (May 23rd out of their taproom). Georgetown gave shout outs to many who helped make it happen, including these locals: Hollingbery & Son Hops and Roy Farms.
Don't know about you, but our local hearts are FULL.
Take care, Yakima.
Bridget + Lauren

Yakima's Ship Shop. Stop by to ship stuff out and put together a box for your favorite Yakimaniac who lives far away. YSS shelves are stocked with all sorts of local things: pretzels, cards, candy, wine, cider, and IHY merch (we're running low, but there's a few things on the racks!). Owner Nicholas or his trusty staff will help you out with the best way to ship things out.

Artist, Jamaica Zoglman. We have long enjoyed Jamaica's IG feed of her illustrations and musings. You can also check out her store and gallery here. We say go old school, buy some of her cards and send out handwritten notes to those you are thinking of.
