Imagine talking to the store or the mall from the parking lot and notice a $20 on the ground. "Hey! It must be my lucky day!"You glance around to make sure it couldn't have come from someone else. It's unfortunately to lose cash as we all have, but it's all a circle of karma. You lose some; you find some. Well, there's a new scam that Fox 11 Los Angeles wants to warm you about that could be something that could happen to you. It happened to this lady who didn't bend over to take the money.

Though I often fly out of Yakima for convenience, there are some benefits to flying out of Pasco via PSC. They have more flight options and more direct destinations than Yakima which is a huge benefit. Especially if you prefer flying Delta or United. And, with Allegiant, you can get direct flights to Las Vegas. The downside if if you're driving to Tri-Cities, that means you'll need to park your car in their lot for the days you'll be gone. At $12 a day, that will add up quickly.

I've been keeping my eye on this spot for a few weeks now and, happy to say, it is now officially open. Jammin' Java is off 56th and Summitview by Wray's Marketfresh IGA. So many things in Yakima are 'this new place in this old place'. The Jammin' Java location was a Starbucks for a while until it turned into another coffee shop called Newsroom and, most recently, For Heaven's Cake. This is a great location in a great area with plenty of other fun shops around Chalet Place shopping area.

There's been a buzz around Yakima with rumors swirling that we may be getting boat racing here in Yakima. Fortunately, the rumors are true!Not only that, but it's coming sooner than you think. We were invited to a fun press event at State Fair Park when they had several representatives basically cheerleading how awesome Yakima is. I mean, yeah, we know, but always nice to hear from someone with a voice in Olympia that also represents our local area.

What is the best school in the Yakima Valley? I mean, the easy answer is the one you went to, obviously. If it wasn't the best you wouldn't have gone there. And while at all the sports games and pep assemblies with everyone saying, "We're #1! We're #1!" If everyone was #1, wouldn't that make everyone tied for first place? U.S. News ranked the schools throughout the country based on graduation rate, college readiness, and enrollment 9-12 to come up with these rankings.
