When to Visit Yakima

  • Winter

    Yakima is much dryer than the Puget Sound cities in Washington. Winter is technically the wet season, but it is still pretty dry. The weather is cool and it is the off-season since so much is based around outdoor activities.

  • Spring

    Spring often means wine release events. Yakima warms up fairly quickly in the spring. By May, daily high temperatures are back to the 70s.

  • Summer

    Summer is a fantastic time, especially for those who like to play outside. The daily high temps get into the high-80s. The weather is sunny and dry.

  • Fall

    Fall is the wine (well, grape) harvest season and it comes with some celebratory events.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
